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 ...

There is a lot of buzz about electromagnetic (EM) detection and ranging sensor technology, which encompass radar, lidar, infrared (IR), ultra-wide bandwidth (UWB), and many others. However, there are ...

Ultrasonic levitation is by now a familiar trick: one or more ultrasonic transducers create a standing wave, and small ...

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 ...

Astronomers have identified 27 potential new planets orbiting binary star systems, more than doubling ...

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 inspection is a non-destructive testing method that detects electrical emissions and mechanical conditions in equipment. Predictive and proactive inspection of rotating equipment is ...

Ultrasonics refers to signals that are above the human hearing span (>20 kHz), and usually in the 40- to 70-kHz range. These signals are used like radar—they’re radiated toward a target and reflected ...

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 ...

A research team has developed the world's first high-performance photoacoustic endoscopy based on a transparent ultrasonic transducer. Their findings were recently published in the journal Science ...
