The word “piezo” derives from the Greek word piezein, meaning “to press tightly”. Piezoelectricity refers to a material’s ability to convert mechanical energy (pressing) into electric energy ...

Structural alignment in fibrous tissues like myocardium and tendons is a key biomarker of physiological integrity and ...

Piezoresponse force microscopy (PFM) is a powerful technique used to characterize nanoscale properties in electromechanically active materials, such as ferroelectrics and multiferroics. Study: ...

Spiral scanning creates six distinguishable polarization patterns in ferroelectric films, enabling data storage beyond binary ...

A research team led by Prof. ZHANG Dongguo from the University of Science and Technology of China (USTC) of the Chinese Academy of Sciences (CAS) developed an optical module consists of cascaded ...

PFM is based on the converse piezoelectric effect, where an applied electric field induces mechanical strain in piezoelectric materials. In PFM, an AC voltage is applied between a conductive atomic ...

An advanced technique called SPOT is giving researchers a opportunities to study the sophisticated world of lipid dynamics within cells. The ability to "see" the inner workings of structures ...
