Featured event
Energy materials: electro- and photo-chemical interfaces and devices
 
7-9 September 2010
Energy materials: electro- and photo-chemical interfaces and devices This two-days workshop brings together experimentalists, theorists and computational scientists working in the broad area of energy materials.

Topics covered are:

• Materials for hydrogen and energy storage
• Materials for (photo)-electrochemical energy conversion
• Materials for energy harvesting

The workshop will foster the dialogue and collaboration between experiment and theory. The participation of industrial scientists is also promoted.

NPL - a founding member of the Piezo Institute - are sponsoring this event.
 
 
Piezo 2011: Electroceramics for End-users V
 
27 Feb – 2 Mar 2011
Piezo 2011: Electroceramics for End-users V Piezo 2011 will be in Sestriere (northern Italy), the location of Turin’s 2006 Winter Olympic Games.

Our new Piezo2011 website is now launched where you can learn about the conference, its programme, tutorials, location and invited speakers. Registration and submission of abstracts will be arranged and managed through our partners in Sestriere.

Applications
Focus on transport
MembershipThe transport industry will continue to benefit from piezoelectric technologies. The automotive industry requires sensors to measure engine performance and ensure passenger safety. Piezoelectric materials are the basic component of these sensors, in particular accelerometers and infra-red detectors.
 
Focus on healthcare
Focus on healthcareScientific innovation from a multidisciplinary Piezo Institute research collaboration has produced high-performance thin film piezoelectric transducers for specialist medical applications.
