The quest to mimic human touch in technology has led researchers to explore piezoelectric and triboelectric effects as ...

When it comes to high-precision motion control, the type of motor you choose plays a pivotal role in determining the accuracy, performance, and efficiency of your system. In industries like medical, ...

Advances in materials science stemming from research in South Korea are leading to higher-performance piezoelectric and triboelectric, and self-powering, sensors.

The piezoelectric effect is simple in its rules ... When the strumpad is strummed, six copper strips act as capacitive sensors. Touching the strips determines which notes will be played.

When these materials are subjected to mechanical strain, the piezoelectric effect generates electrical charges, which can be collected and stored for powering small electronic devices or sensors.

Prof. Ryu explains, "Our study explains the materials and device fabrication strategies for tactile sensors using piezoelectric and triboelectric effects, as well as the types of sensory recognition." ...

Multiferroic materials, which have the special ability to connect magnetism and electricity, are now one step closer to ...
