Researchers at the Ural Federal University and the Institute of Metal Physics of the Ural Branch of the Russian Academy of Sciences, improved the properties of a magnetostrictive material (a compound ...

Close quarters can make the specification process tricky for magnetostrictive sensors that have no external housings. MTS System Corp. Cary, N.C. Magnetostriction as a positionsensing technique has ...

Engineers are used to dealing with diverse “effects” ranging from well-known to lesser-known ones. In the former category, for instance, there’s the piezoelectric effect and the skin effect; in the ...

MEND-mediated neuromodulation When exposed to a magnetic field, the magnetostrictive core of the nanodisc changes shape, inducing a strain in the outer layer and facilitating stimulation of the brain ...

The magnetic shape memory effect can be used for designing actuators where the element elongates based on the presence of a magnetic field. The elongation can be reversed fully either by the ...

To wirelessly power an implanted neural stimulator, a research team combined materials to synergistically use the magnetorestrictive and piezoelectric effects. Providing power to implanted medical ...
