Why Resonant Frequency Matters in Piezo Applications

In 1880, brothers Jacques and Pierre Curie discovered piezoelectricity. The name "piezoelectricity" is derived from the Greek verb "piezein," which translates into "to squeeze or to press." It's called this because the Curie brothers found that certain materials, when put under stress, exert an...
