Researchers discover that ultrasonic vibrations reduce friction on flat screens by causing the fingertip to bounce on pockets of trapped air. Haptics researchers have long known that applying ...

We're tracking all the latest news out of CES, and one of the buzziest drops is a knife that, well, buzzes. OK, more like vibrates. Last year, Seattle Ultrasonics announced the impending launch of the ...

The Seattle Ultrasonics C-200 vibrates 30,000 times per second, and as our pro chef tester found, it’s not as gimmicky as it sounds ...

A research team led by Jiang Ma from Shenzhen University, China, has developed a novel technique to enhance the plasticity of metallic glasses. By leveraging a combination of controlled aging ...

Haptics researchers have long known that applying ultrasonic vibrations to a flat, featureless glass plate makes it feel slippery. But they have also long debated why this occurs. Northwestern ...

Piezoelectric ultrasonic transducers play a critical role in modern sensing and actuation by converting electrical signals into high‐frequency mechanical vibrations and vice versa. Recent advances ...

To solve problems in dressings for metal-bonded super-hard abrasive wheels, such as low efficiency and rapid wear, this article introduces a laser-assisted ultrasonic vibration dressing technique.

Ceramic materials are renowned for their hardness and high-temperature resistance, making them indispensable in fields such as aerospace, electronics, and biomedical devices. However, these properties ...

Seattle Ultrasonics, a Seattle-based manufacturer of household knives, has developed an 'ultrasonic knife' that emits ultrasonic waves that are barely noticeable at the touch of a button, allowing you ...
