This element is marked as a Development because we will need to build such piezo sliders for various different applications.

How does it work?

Check the referenced paper below for a nice introduction how piezo sliders achieve both macroscopic and microscopic movements.

For positioning tasks at the micrometer and nanometer scale, piezo sliders are an amazingly simple yet powerful tool. We should learn to build them for the various places where such tiny controlled motions are required. This element is marked as a _Development_ because we will need to build such piezo sliders for various different applications. ### How does it work?
