The piezoelectric effect is used quite a bit in electronics, so it’s no surprise that plenty of hacker projects explore this physical phenomena.

By placing a unit equipped with an ADXL345, an accelerometer for detecting motion, or a Piezo sensor on a door, it can notify you when someone knocks or tries to kick in the door.

This project is to prototype a set of self-powered (such as piezoelectric, thermostat, solar, etc) embedded sensor systems for pervasive computing. A tangible exam is a body-temperature powered motion ...

The global piezoelectric devices market size is expected to reach USD 47.92 billion by 2030 according to a new study. The report gives a detailed insight into current market dynamics and provides ...

Flexible piezoelectric sensors are essential to monitor the motions of both humans and humanoid robots. However, existing designs are either are costly or have limited sensitivity. In a recent ...

A research team has developed a machine learning-based acoustic sensor for speaker recognition. The team fabricated a flexible piezoelectric membrane by mimicking the basilar membrane in the human ...

Sensors developed by Purdue engineers are being embedded into Indiana highways to determine when concrete is mature enough to open up traffic following a construction project.

A KAIST research team has developed a machine learning-based acoustic sensor for speaker recognition. The team fabricated a flexible piezoelectric membrane by mimicking the basilar membrane in the ...
