It’s the middle of winter, so the button of the month is one that lets me remember being warm — and discuss a pretty cool piece of tech. It’s the middle of winter, so the button of the month is one ...

A new, inexpensive method to 'print' large-scale sheets of two dimensional (2D) piezoelectric material offers tremendous opportunity for new piezo-sensors and energy harvesting. Researchers have ...

Researchers have devised a straightforward technique for building a laboratory device known as an electroporator -- which applies a jolt of electricity to temporarily open cell walls -- from ...

Summer in the Northern hemisphere means outdoor cooking. Matches are old school, and you are more likely to use a piezoelectric lighter to start your grill. [Steve Mould] has one, but he didn’t ...

A piece of piezoelectric material (left) could someday replace the battery in a traditional pacemaker (right). The same material that sparks barbecue lighters to flame may soon be used to power ...

Many readers will be familiar with the idea of a glitching attack, introducing electrical noise into a computer circuit in the hope of disrupting program flow and causing unexpected behaviour which ...

SANTA CLARA, Calif., October 30, 2025--xMEMS Labs, Inc., the inventor of the world’s first piezoelectric MEMS (piezoMEMS) µCooling fan-on-a-chip thermal management solution and the leader in ...

As notebook computers become thinner and lighter, the ever-present bulky power adapters used for line current approach the weight of the laptops, but smaller and lighter adapters may be on the way, ...
