Advances in materials science stemming from research in South Korea are leading to higher-performance piezoelectric and ...

In a new study published in Nature, researchers at the Indian Institute of Science (IISc) and collaborators show that the efficacy of a commonly used piezoelectric ceramic material can be dramatically ...

“Our intention was to increase the strain beyond this.” Every grain in a piezoceramic contains spontaneously polarised regions called domains that switch their orientation towards the electric ...

Examples include electrical motors or pneumatic pistons. We find that if the thickness of a polycrystalline piezoceramic is reduced such that a large fraction of the grains are in the triaxial ...

Many of our academics speak to the media as experts in their field of research. If you are a journalist, please contact the University’s Media and PR Team: Prof. Bond is currently the Pro-Vice ...
