Researchers at North Carolina State University have developed a computational model that helps users understand how changes in the nanostructure of materials affect their conductivity—with the goal of ...

Film capacitors are passive electronic components that store electrical energy in an electric field between two conductive ...

Researchers at UC Santa Barbara have discovered what limits our ability to reduce the size of capacitors, often the largest components in integrated circuits, down to the nanoscale. They have answered ...

If you have ever tried to run a high-performance computer in a hot room, or pushed an electric vehicle to its limit on a scorching summer highway, you know the enemy of modern electronics is heat. As ...

Many improvements in electronic miniaturization and efficiency can be tied to the development of capacitor technology, and minimizing the dielectric layer thickness has been the primary driver for ...

We tend to focus on charge storage in terms of the batteries that power our electronic devices and, increasingly, our cars. But charge storage devices now make an appearance on scales ranging from ...

In 2008, Kendall Castor-Perry began an extended investigation into the effect that bypass capacitor selection has on analog circuit performance. Five years on, we’re reposting this classic series, ...
