One protein, Piezo1, is key to marshalling muscle stem cells' unique shapes and response to injuries, but it is in low supply in those with Duchenne muscular dystrophy, according to a team at the ...

BackgroundMicro-jumping robots offer unique advantages in scenarios such as confined space exploration and post-disaster search and rescue. However ...

Piezoelectric effect is when certain solid material is compressed under mechanical stress, and it develops a voltage potential by accumulating electrical charges. French physicists Jacques and Pierre ...

Download this article in PDF format. Jacques and Pierre Curie, French physics, discovered the piezoelectric effect in 1880. When some solid material is mechanically compressed or stressed, the ...

Piezoelectric crystals are a class of materials that exhibit a unique property called piezoelectricity. These crystals generate an electrical charge when subjected to mechanical stress or strain, and ...

Improvement in the design of medical equipment for better-streamlined functionality and performance is influenced by a number of critical factors. The research, design, modeling, testing, prototyping, ...

Piezo elements are electromechanical transducers that convert mechanical forces (pressure, tensile stress or acceleration) into voltages. The inverse piezoelectric effect, precisely the opposite, ...
