High-resolution optical encoders give this alignment system 5 nm linear and 5 µrad angular increments, holding 150 nm repeatability across six axes.
PI’s piezo design and manufacturing division, PI Ceramic, offers a comprehensive portfolio of standard, custom, and value-added piezoelectric devices from piezo stacks to ultrasonic transducers. This low-noise 6-channel piezo amlifier drives piezo components, including piezo stacks, scanner tubes, plates, disks and bender actuators.
Active error compensation via direct-metrology feedback lets this piezo XY stage correct drift in real time, holding accuracy during high-speed scans.
PI pairs piezo and voice-coil focus drives with high-speed position sensors and control electronics to hold sub-micron accuracy during fast inspection.
Researchers tested ear-worn sensors for energy expenditure monitoring, finding group-level performance broadly comparable to some commercial wrist wearables during uphill walking.

New non-invasive sensors that measure muscle forces have been developed by University of Queensland researchers, unlocking new possibilities for wearable robotic mobility devices.
Researchers developed PinkyCaMP, an mScarlet-based red calcium indicator that combines high brightness and photostability with no detectable blue-light-induced photoswitching. Experiments in cultured cells, brain tissue, and living mice showed that PinkyCaMP supports optogenetic and dual-color imaging, although its slow kinetics may limit precise tracking of rapid neuronal firing.
