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

Anyone who works with older electronic equipment will before long learn to spot Rifa capacitors, a distinctive yellow-translucent component often used in mains filters, that is notorious for failures.

Graphene supercapacitors are moving from lab curiosity to serious contender for the next wave of electric vehicle energy storage. By pairing the near-instant charging of capacitors with the high ...

If you search through an electrical engineering textbook, you probably aren’t going to find the phrase “gimmick capacitor” but every old ham radio operator knows about them. They come in handy when ...

Capacitors store and release energy in tiny bursts, helping circuits run smoothly and safely. This video explains how they work, how they stabilize voltage, and why they’re essential in nearly all ...

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, ...

New surface-mount hybrid polymer capacitors are engineered to survive extreme vibration while delivering low ESR and stable ...

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 ...

CTS Corporation (NYSE:CTS) develops precision electronic components and sensors, delivering advanced technology solutions and ...

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 ...
