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 ...

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 ...

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 ...

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 ...

Today, a vast number of micro-manufactured sensors, actuators and components vibrate at frequencies in the high MHz range. Some examples of these high-frequency vibrating systems include surface ...

Throughout the surgical process, the surgeon must have access to a real-time assessment of blood vessels to make evaluations relative to the flow of blood. Piezo transducers are at the heart of ...

For those that haven’t heard, ultrasonic levitation is a process by which two or more ultrasonic transducers are set opposite to each other and excited in such a way as to create a standing wave ...
