The piezoelectric effect is simple in its rules: Apply mechanical stress to a material and you generate an electric charge. The inverse is also true: Apply a voltage to a material, and it changes ...

In this experiment we are going to work with a sensor which is a resistor that depends on light. In a dark environment, the resistor will have a very high resistance. As photons (light) land on the ...

Fine tuning sensors on prosthetics includes incorporating the sense of touch into a device to be as close to the sensations felt by a natural limb as can be. The two began working together last ...

The vision of Industry 4.0 is already becoming a successful reality in numerous industrial applications nowadays, in sectors such as automobile manufacturing, medical technology, and electrical ...

Piezo comes from the Greek word “piezein,” which means “squeeze” or “apply some pressure.” Whether they take form as a transducer or sensor, piezo components all operate as the result of some degree ...

Ultrasonic sensor transducers work well in medical applications such as patient monitoring, flow measurement and air bubble detection used in infusion systems, pharmaceutic devices or spirometry.
