Scientists have developed a novel process to identify a record-breaking material for film capacitors, which are needed for safe, reliable electric vehicles and are used in many energy technologies.

Supercapacitors are a special type of electrochemical energy storage device noted for their ability to deliver sudden bursts ...

Welcome to the future you probably didn't know to dream up: New research has found a method, using nanotechnologies, to increase the energy storage capacity of an often overlooked but integral energy ...

If you build electronic circuits on a regular basis the chances are you will have used capacitors many times. They are a standard component along with the resistor whose values are lifted off the ...

Vehicle electrification is the biggest growth driver for capacitors used in power converters, according to a recent report from Yole Intelligence, part of Yole Group. The power capacitor market share ...

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 ...

Yi Liu (left) and Zongliang Xie fabricate film capacitors from polymers and then evaluate both the polymers and capacitors at the Molecular Foundry. The Department of Energy’s Lawrence Berkeley ...

As we have seen in part I and part II of this series [1], there are no inherent wear-out mechanisms in ceramic capacitors. And yes, as covered in part II, the high dielectric Class 2 capacitors (X7R) ...

These X- and Y-capacitors in surface-mount housings, built to suppress EMI, reduce cost and simplify production.

NOJA Power's OSM Automatic Circuit Reclosers are being successfully utilized as capacitor switches in Colombia. NOJA Power reclosers can be used in situations beyond the traditional protection grading ...
