This paper presents an approach to monitor actuation events of pneumatic valves using piezo film sensors. These sensors are very low-cost, flexible, wide-band, and are ideally suited to acquire ...

With the advances of studies on multi-piezoelectric effect, it has become possible to integrate structure and function of sensor with actuators into the single piezoelectric element. This paper ...

In the pursuit of more effective and accessible solutions for joint health monitoring, researchers are constantly seeking ...

Piezoelectric actuators and sensors are added for controlling the high frequency vibrations beyond range of motor torque control. Additionally, this work introduces a formulation for simultaneous ...

The ion channel PIEZO2 doesn't just convey touch stimuli. It also plays a key role in the development of coronary vessels, a team led by Annette Hammes from the Max Delbrück Center reports in Nature ...

Polysaccharide-based hydrogels have been utilized as flexible strain sensors because of their renewability, biocompatibility, and biodegradability. However, their widespread application is hindered by ...
