DMTC leads piezoelectric R&D

Our team at the Thales Australia Acoustics Centre of Excellence, based in Rydalmere Western Sydney, are playing an integral part in the development of third generation piezoelectric materials; single crystal devices. Piezoelectric crystals are used in the sonar transducers that turn minute acoustic vibrations into symbols on operators’ screens, telling them where, and what, the source of a noise is.
