LONDON, March 7, 2017 /PRNewswire/ -- Due to emergence of the Internet of Things (IoT) and automation in industrial processing and home applications, the demand for sensors and transducers has ...

Ultrasound transducer technology forms a cornerstone of modern diagnostic and therapeutic systems, harnessing piezoelectric materials to convert electrical energy into acoustic waves, and vice versa.

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 ...

If you've ever had a sonogram you know that, even though the test isn't too hard to endure, the cold glob of gel that goes on your skin before you get "wanded" is pretty unpleasant. Japanese ...

Scientists have developed a quadruple fusion optical and ultrasound imaging system using a transparent ultrasound transducer. A quadruple fusion optical and ultrasound imaging system has been ...

A team develops an ultrasensitive broadband transparent ultrasound transducer. The 'ultrasound-photoacoustic dual-modal imaging system' combines molecular imaging contrast with ultrasound imaging, and ...

When visiting the dentist, you might remember being poked and prodded by a thin metal instrument to check your teeth and gums. This technique, called periodontal probing, is used to look for signs of ...

To measure wind speed and direction, most people turn the traditional cup anemometer and wind vane. Another less-known method is to use an array of ultrasonic transducers, which doesn’t need any ...

When it comes to dental checkups, no one likes having their gums poked with the periodontal probe. Well, they may soon no longer have to, thanks to a gum-assessing toothbrush-shaped mini ultrasound ...

A newly developed imaging method blends ultrasound and photoacoustics to capture both tissue structure and blood-vessel function in 3D.
