Researchers solve long-standing challenge for piezoelectric materials

Heat and pressure can deteriorate the properties of piezoelectric materials that make state-of-the-art ultrasound and sonar technologies possible—and fixing that damage has historically required disassembling devices and exposing the materials to even higher temperatures. Heat and pressure can deteriorate the properties of piezoelectric materials that make state-of-the-art ultrasound and sonar technologies possible—and fixing that damage has historically required disassembling devices and exposing the materials to even higher temperatures. Materials Science Phys.org – latest science and technology news stories
