Magneto-strictors are magnetic analogs of piezoelectric materials. They change dimensions whenever they become magnetized, making them intrinsically-ferromagnetic. In a magnetostrictive material, ...

Magnetostrictive Fe-Ga alloys with low temperature dependence, high permeability, and good mechanical properties have gained increasing attraction among various magnetostrictive materials. In ...

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 ...

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 ...

A new material that is twice as magnetostrictive as others in its class could be a significant boon for computer-chip developers. The material’s unusual ability to expand and contract in response to ...

Sonar systems with expanded capabilities are emerging because of new transducer drive materials. The design limits of nickel and piezoelectric ceramic sonar began to be reached over 25 years ago. At ...
