When visiting the dentist, you might remember being poked and prodded by a thin metal instrument to check your teeth and gums. This technique, called periodontal probing, is used to look for signs of ...

Ultrasound can be used for industrial inspection and automation - the technology is similar to the one know from medical ultrasonic imaging. Piezoelectric ultrasonic transducers also find applications ...

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 ...

Ultrasound transducer technology forms a cornerstone of modern diagnostic and therapeutic systems, harnessing piezoelectric materials to convert electrical energy into acoustic waves, and vice versa.

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 ...

Lead author Carlos Gerardo shows the new low-cost ultrasound transducer (Courtesy: Clare Kiernan, University of British Columbia) Conventional ultrasound scanners use piezoelectric crystals to create ...

Clothes dryers are great, and a key part of modern life, but they do use a lot of energy. [Mike Rigsby] decided to see if there was a more efficient method of drying clothes that could compete with ...

In laboratories from Brazil to Munich, researchers are learning to grab matter with sound alone, sculpting ultrasonic waves ...

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 ...

A team develops an ultrasensitive broadband transparent ultrasound transducer. The 'ultrasound-photoacoustic dual-modal imaging system' combines molecular imaging contrast with ultrasound imaging, and ...
