Piezoelectric Uses in Our Everyday Applications

The piezoelectric effect is one of the most intriguing scientific concepts out there — the phenomenon of converting mechanical energy to electrical energy, and vice versa. Piezoelectricity relies on materials with a lattice structure — either naturally occurring quartzes, or human-made materials...

5 Reasons To Incorporate Piezo Technology in Haptic Wearables

Haptic technology is expanding its reach and becoming more popular every day. In fact, the haptic technology market is projected to grow 12% by 2026. Want to corner a good share of that market? Start by incorporating piezo technology in your wearable devices, and take your wearable designs to the...

Haptics in Wearables: Why Small Actuators Make Your Device Feel Cheap

Linear resonant actuators (LRA) are currently considered the gold standard in haptic technologies. They enable better haptic experiences than older technologies like the eccentric rotating mass (ERM) motor. They are cost-effective and used in small packages. What's not to like?
