Most often ultrasonic transducers are used for distance measurements, and in the DIY world, usually as a way for robots to detect obstacles. But for a weekend project, [Vinod.S] took the ultrasonic ...

The 'ultrasound-photoacoustic dual-modal imaging system' combines molecular imaging contrast with ultrasound imaging, and it can visualize molecular and structural information inside the body in real ...

Ultrasonic levitation is by now a familiar trick: one or more ultrasonic transducers create a standing wave, and small objects can be held in the nodes of this standing wave. With a sufficiently large ...

Engineers at the University of British Columbia have developed a new ultrasound transducer, or probe, that could dramatically lower the cost of ultrasound scanners to as little as $100. Their ...

Scientists have developed a quadruple fusion optical and ultrasound imaging system using a transparent ultrasound transducer. A quadruple fusion optical and ultrasound imaging system has been ...

When visiting the dentist, you might remember being poked and prodded by a thin metal instrument to check your teeth and gums. This technique, called periodontal probing, is used to look for signs of ...

MIT engineers have developed a noninvasive pacemaker that stimulates the heart using ultrasound. The design could one day ...
