You can work with a part for many decades, and still learn something new about it. At least we can, and we don’t mind admitting it. Take film capacitors — we all know they aren’t a polarized part like ...

Variable capacitors may be useful, but the air gap that provides their capacitance is their greatest weakness. Rather than ...

An ultrathin ferroelectric capacitor, designed by researchers from Japan, demonstrates strong electric polarization despite ...

An ultrathin ferroelectric capacitor demonstrates strong electric polarization despite being just 30 nm thick including top ...

When Ceramic Capacitors Go Bad – Aging. Capacitor Aging applies to all Class 2 ceramic capacitors as they are built of ferroelectric materials. C0G types (Class 1) do not exhibit this aging effect, ...

First, let's define a capacitor: It is an electromechanical device capable of storing electrical energy (electrons). It differs from a battery, as a battery produces electrical energy as a by-product ...

Researchers believe they’ve discovered a new material structure that can improve the energy storage of capacitors. The structure allows for storage while improving the efficiency of ultrafast charging ...

Kelly has over 10 years of experience writing about home design and improvement for many prominent publications. She also spent several years working at a tech startup for an interior design game ...

There is a general trend of making electronics smaller and with more functionality. This translates into: “Cram it in there,” so naturally designers look to find smaller and smaller parts. What was on ...
