Abstract: To achieve high single-step efficiency (SSE), a novel bionic stick-slip piezoelectric actuator inspired by kangaroo’s leg mechanics is proposed in this article. The bionic design ...

Abstract: Expanding the imaging field of view (FOV) of medical ultrasound transducers will be more effectively detect pathological behaviors ... with the goal of dynamically expanding the FOV within a ...

In this work, we demonstrate the ability of lysozyme amyloid protein fibrils to possess piezoelectric capabilities when assembled into a freestanding bulk material. We transformed hen egg white ...

Not so, if you use a pair of specialised ultrasonic transducer arrays to move the air instead! (Video, embedded below) Three banks of thrusters provide a 180 degree steerable net force Details are ...
