What does a capacitor really do?

Capacitors are tiny components found in almost every electronic device, but most people have no idea what they do. This video ...
This video explains the physics behind reversed resistor and capacitor equations. We clarify why voltage–current relationships appear inverted in different contexts, connect the math to physical ...
An ultrathin ferroelectric capacitor, designed by researchers from Japan, demonstrates strong electric polarization despite ...
If you’ve seen a big air-variable capacitor, you may have noticed that some of the plates may have slots cut into them. Why? [Mr Carlson] has the answer in the video below. The short answer: ...
Here we describe an electronic system that uses a dedicated water-level sensor to switch off the pump motor as soon as the ...
A new material called multiscale reduced graphene oxide could mean faster charging and power delivery than traditional batteries allow. When you purchase through links on our site, we may earn an ...
For semiconductor designers this outlines how a thin ferroelectric stack can retain polarization and support memory integration. Ultrathin ferroelectric capacitors for next-generation memory devices ...
This price reflects trading activity during the overnight session on the Blue Ocean ATS, available 8 PM to 4 AM ET, Sunday through Thursday, when regular markets are closed. Chart does not reflect ...
Organic thin-film tunnel transistors with subthreshold swings as low as 24.2 mV dec −1 can be created with the help of a molecular decoupling layer that lowers the energy barrier to tunnelling.
