Adding a Schottky junction to certain crystals can turn them into piezoelectric or pyroelectric crystals, even if they were unaffected by deformation or heat before, according to the the University of Warwick, where the research was done. The subjects were ‘centrosymmetric’ semiconductors. niobium-doped strontium titanium oxide crystals niobium-doped titanium dioxide crystals niobium-doped barium strontium titanium ...

Newcastle-based Zytronic is to supply rugged 55inch custom touch screens to Italian vending machine maker PharmaShop24. These are huge machines, that vend 255 over-the-counter medicines from what amounts to a small robot-automated warehouse. To fit more product into a fixed space, PharmaShop realised that the traditional vending mechanism, where customers view products directly, was no ...

Flow batteries are energy storing structures that store chemical energy as liquid electrolytes in tanks, and pump those liquids to a reaction site – a membrane-electrode assembly (MEA) – when electricity must be produced or re-charge is needed. This separates the number of watts a flow battery can produce from the number of joules it can ...
