Scientists have illuminated the basic mechanism of Piezo proteins, which function as sensors in the body for mechanical stimuli such as touch, bladder fullness, and blood pressure. The discovery is a ...

Ultrasonic sensor transducers work well in medical applications such as patient monitoring, flow measurement and air bubble detection used in infusion systems, pharmaceutic devices or spirometry.

A lot of it comes down to special materials called piezoelectrics. Now, imagine being able to 3D print these materials into ...
