Once upon a time I was a real mad scientist. I was into non-conventional propulsion with the idea of somehow interacting with the quantum vacuum fluctuations, the zero point energy field. I was into ...

A research group has used nanosheet technology to develop a dielectric capacitor for advanced electronic and electrical power systems. Innovations in energy storage technology are vital for the ...

Every now and then you need to make your own capacitor. That includes choosing a dielectric for it, the insulating material that goes between the plates. One dielectric material that I use a lot is ...

A key parameter of capacitors is their dielectric absorption (DA). If you want to estimate the capacitor’s quality or recognize its type of dielectric you can simply measure its DA. This simple ...

Myrtle Beach, S.C. – Under development for two years, AVX Corp.'s microwave single-layer X7S dielectric capacitor (SLC) family employs the company's new Z dielectric, which replaces the Z5U and Y5V ...

Using a hybrid silica sol-gel material and self-assembled monolayers of a common fatty acid, researchers have developed a new capacitor dielectric material that provides an electrical energy storage ...

Scientists at the U.S. Department of Energy’s Brookhaven National Laboratory are studying a mysterious material that may lead to significant advances in the miniaturisation of electronics. This work ...

(Nanowerk News) A research group led by Professor Minoru Osada at the Institute for Materials and Systems for Sustainability (IMaSS), Nagoya University in Japan, in collaboration with NIMS, has ...
