Piezoelectric ultrasonic transducers play a critical role in modern sensing and actuation by converting electrical signals into high‐frequency mechanical vibrations and vice versa. Recent advances ...

Throughout the surgical process, the surgeon must have access to a real-time assessment of blood vessels to make evaluations relative to the flow of blood. Piezo transducers are at the heart of ...

The 'ultrasound-photoacoustic dual-modal imaging system' combines molecular imaging contrast with ultrasound imaging, and it can visualize molecular and structural information inside the body in real ...

Before humans discovered ultrasound for a variety of medical, technical and military applications, nature had perfected it over millions of years for navigation under and above water. Dolphins and ...

We wager you haven’t you heard the latest from ultrasonics. Sorry. [Lindsay Wilson] is a Hackaday reader who wants to share his knowledge of transducer tuning to make tools. The bare unit he uses to ...

Infineon Technologies AG has claimed the first integrated one-chip solution for a MEMS-based ultrasonic transducer in a smaller footprint with improved performance and higher functionality. The MEMS ...

Scientists have developed a quadruple fusion optical and ultrasound imaging system using a transparent ultrasound transducer. A quadruple fusion optical and ultrasound imaging system has been ...

To measure wind speed and direction, most people turn the traditional cup anemometer and wind vane. Another less-known method is to use an array of ultrasonic transducers, which doesn’t need any ...

For people who are at high risk of developing breast cancer, frequent screenings with ultrasound can help detect tumors early ...

Ultrasonic nondestructive testing, also known as ultrasonic NDT or simply UT, is a method of characterizing the thickness or internal structure of a test piece using high-frequency sound waves. The ...
