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 …read more Continue reading The Piezoelectric Glitching Attack
Stumbling on a giant gold nugget and never working again is something we’ve all daydreamed about, but how exactly do they form? A new experiment has found that earthquakes and electricity might be key ingredients.Continue ReadingCategory: ScienceTags: … Continue reading Giant gold nuggets could be born from earthquakes and electricity
Lasers are pretty much magic — it’s all done with mirrors. Not every laser, of course, but in the 1980s, the most common lasers in commercial applications were probably the …read more Continue reading More Mirrors (and a Little Audio) Mean More Laser Power
An experimental new helmet could save drivers of construction vehicles from serious injuries. The device measures the extent to which its wearer is being shaken up while driving, and sounds an alert when the shaking gets to be too much.Continue Reading… Continue reading Smart helmet tracks shake to keep brains safe on the job
Will piezoelectric-based speakers replace traditional speakers over the coming years in space-constrained devices? We have definitely seen the use of piezo transducers in e.g. high-end televisions that use the display’s …read more Continue reading Piezo Transducers Could Turn Displays Into Speakers
Researchers have successfully regenerated damaged skull bones in mice by creating a freestanding, biomimetic scaffold that combines a piezoelectric framework and the growth-promoting properties of a naturally occurring mineral. The novel “bone bandage”… Continue reading Piezoelectric “bone bandage” heals cracked bones faster
In a move that echoes a sci-fi series, researchers have developed a super-small material that was able to not only stimulate nerves in rodents, but reconnect them as well. The finding could lead to injectable particles that take the place of larger imp… Continue reading Nanomaterial stimulates and regrows severed nerves like sci-fi tech
Sensors used to monitor extreme environments need to provide reliable measurements despite high temperatures and harsh conditions. Now, researchers have developed a piezoelectric sensor that works at the temperature of erupting mafic lava, the hottest … Continue reading Feel like monitoring an erupting volcano? There’s a sensor for that
Sometimes, you just need an easy win, right? This is one of those projects. A couple months back, I was looking at my guitars and guitar accessories and thought, it …read more Continue reading Lo-Fi Fun: Beer Can Microphones
Although there already are experimental “telehaptic” systems that allow people to send and receive tactile sensations, they tend to be rather bulky and awkward. A new one is much slimmer and thus more practical, thanks to the use of piezoelectric mater… Continue reading Piezoelectric tech allows tactile sensations to be sent and received
