— EEStor, Inc. announces third party certification tests by Texas Research International’s Dr. Edward G. Golla, PhD., Laboratory Director. They certified that EEStor’s patented and patent pending ...

Few passive components exist in the sheer variety of forms that the capacitor has taken. Simple in principle, the design of the capacitor involves a number of tradeoffs that make it impossible to ...

Farad (F) is the unit of capacitance which was named after the British physicist Michael Faraday. This is a measure of a capacitor’s ability to store charge where large capacitance means more charge ...

• Ferroelectric–Nonferroelectric Transition: When the capacitor size is reduced to 3.85 μm, ferroelectricity vanishes and an ultrahigh dielectric permittivity of 1466 emerges, without requiring ...

Note: For a PDF version of this article click here. Multilayer ceramic (MLC) capacitors have become extremely popular in power electronics due to their small size, low equivalent series resistance ...

WASHINGTON D.C. Jan. 17, 2014 -- The capacitors of electronic circuits function something like batteries – storing electrical charge that can be quickly dumped to power devices like camera flashes. So ...

How materials respond to an electric field varies widely. Some ceramics, plastics and glasses show large responses because they are made of polar molecules, which have positive and negative parts.
