North Carolina State University researchers have developed a technique to restore the properties of piezoelectric materials that make state-of-the-art ultrasound and sonar technologies possible.

For these devices to efficiently generate sonar or ultrasound waves, the material needs to be "poled" The material's properties can deteriorate when exposed to high temperatures or high pressures.

The new technique could pave the way for new ultrasound technologies.

North Carolina State University's Hwang-Pill Kim says it means we can easily repole the materials in existing devices.

"Hopefully giving us a long lifetime of peak performance for these technologies," he says.

"What's more, it means that we can.

easily repoles the materials," Kim says.
