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

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

Having acquired some piece of old electronic equipment, be it a computer, radio, or some test gear, the temptation is there to plug it in as soon as you’ve lugged it into the ‘shop. Don’t be so hasty.

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 ...

Great Scott! A team of physicists just figured out how to make a flux capacitor. No, it’s not a real-life version of what was in the “Back to the Future” franchise (reminder: in the movies, the flux ...

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 ...

You can make all sorts of different types of inductors, but the most common type is cylindrical coil of wire---a solenoid. When current runs through the first loop, it creates a magnetic field that ...

A nuclear engineer busts common myths about big capacitors, explaining the real risks, safe handling, and surprising truths ...

Combining the unique strengths of lithium batteries with crazy-fast charging, carbon ultra-capacitors could save a ton of weight and add significant range and power to electric vehicles, according to ...

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 ...
