The photoacoustic effect has been known for more than 150 years: Gases exposed to light heat up. Pulsing the light generates ...
Ferroelectrics found extensive uses in industrial applications because of their unparalleled electromechanical and electrical characteristics, for example, as actuators, sensors and capacitors [1], [2 ...
Coherent mixing between light and microwaves, facilitated by the electro-optic (EO) effect in non-centrosymmetric crystals for instance, has driven many scientific advancements and enabled ...
We present a co-axial acoustic-based optical coherence vibrometry probe (CoA-OCV) for vibro-acoustic resonance quantification in biological tissues. Sample vibrations were stimulated via a loudspeaker ...
Dual-frequency resonance tracking (DFRT) is a technique that utilizes contact mode atomic force microscopy (AFM) to measure a sample’s weak electrical or mechanical responses. Conventional resonance ...
Download this article in PDF format. Jacques and Pierre Curie, French physics, discovered the piezoelectric effect in 1880. When some solid material is mechanically compressed or stressed, the ...
Something that probably unites many Hackaday readers is an idle pursuit of browsing AliExpress for new pieces of tech. Perhaps it’s something akin to social media doomscrolling without the induced ...
