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

Vintage electronics and capacitor replacements tend to go hand-in-hand. Why? Because electrolytic capacitors just don’t last, not the way most other components do, anyway. The metal terminal ring and ...

If you enjoy building radio projects you may have noticed something slightly worrying over the last few years in your component supply. Variable capacitors are no longer as plentiful as they used to ...

For semiconductor designers this outlines how a thin ferroelectric stack can retain polarization and support memory ...

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

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 ...

One of the most common parts to fail on a single-phase HVAC system is a run capacitor, so much so that we sometimes refer to junior techs as “capacitor changers.” While capacitors may be easy to ...

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, ...

In residential and light commercial HVACR, we work with run capacitors every day, and you may have noticed that they fail quite often. Because of this, many companies are beginning to integrate ...

Apaq Technology reported a sharp rise in demand for solid capacitors, fueled primarily by AI servers and AI PCs, during an ...

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 ...
