In a previous article I demonstrated the additional distortion produced when using High-K ceramic capacitors in a system’s signal path [1]. The underlying mechanism causing this distortion is the ...

— 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 ...

Photo 1: The pullout shows a capacitor prototype with stratified 2D nanofillers embedded in the polymer matrix being tested in a University of Houston lab. In the quest for more efficient and ...

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 ...

dielectric constant, property of an electrical insulating material (a dielectric) equal to the ratio of the capacitance of a capacitor filled with the given material to the capacitance of an identical ...

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.

Three RIKEN researchers have created a liquid whose response to an electric field can be tuned over the largest range of any known material 1. The fluid could find use in various applications ...
