The ultrasound scanner has a probe that gives off sound waves. The probe looks a bit like a microphone. The sound waves bounce off the organs inside your body, and the probe picks them up. The probe ...

The last two decades have seen substantial improvements in ultrasonic plastic-welding machines. Bench-top models feature proportional-valve controls, linear encoders, line-voltage regulation, internal ...

Jan. 17, 2026 Engineers have created a device that generates incredibly tiny, earthquake-like vibrations on a microchip—and it could transform future electronics. Using a new kind of “phonon laser,” ...

Focused ultrasound uses energy from sound waves to precisely target tissues and create lesions (areas of damaged tissue). FUS can be used in the brain to help interrupt abnormal brain activity related ...

Abstract: Ultrasonic-based structural health monitoring (SHM) allows continuous automated monitoring of structures for improved safety and reduced maintenance time and cost. Guided waves are often ...

Abstract: Polyvinylidene fluoride (PVDF), a material with ferroelectric characteristics, is still extremely topical for the manufacturing of transducers, and different examples, some of which have ...

When patients cannot adhere to inhaler instructions — whether because of cognitive or physical limitations — a nebulized LAMA might offer another method to safely deliver medication. To that end, GOLD ...
