(A) The structure of the robot. (a) The robot includes the piezoelectric ceramics, metal body, power source, and control system. (b) The arrangement and structure of piezoelectric ceramics. (B) Signal ...

Git isn’t hard to learn. Moreover, with a Git GUI such as Atlassian’s Sourcetree, and a SaaS code repository such as Bitbucket, mastery of the industry’s most powerful version control tools is within ...

Japan lives in a cyberpunk-styled future that twines tech in the most mundane of things. You can find robots performing repetitive tasks at restaurants, like peeling a banana or frying chips, while ...

The cardiovascular system provides blood supply throughout the body and as such is perpetually applying mechanical forces to cells and tissues. Thus, this system is primed with mechanosensory ...

If you do FDM 3D printing, you know one of the biggest problems is sensing the bed. Nearly all printers have some kind of bed probing now, and it makes printing much easier, but there are many ...

Abstract: This paper presents the performances of rainfall energy harvesting through the use of a piezoelectric transducer and an Arduino-based measuring system. Different studies agree on the ...

Piezo elements are electromechanical transducers that convert mechanical forces (pressure, tensile stress or acceleration) into voltages. The inverse piezoelectric effect, precisely the opposite, ...

Robbie has been an avid gamer for well over 20 years. During that time, he's watched countless franchises rise and fall. He's a big RPG fan but dabbles in a little bit of everything. Writing about ...

If we could listen to stem cells closely enough, we might hear them whisper, “mechanosenses tingling.” After all, stem cells sense and react to the physical forces around them, maintaining their ...
