Ceramic capacitors are small, they don’t leak, they’re convenient, but they are downright strange. Certain types of caps will lose their capacitance depending on the voltage they’re operating at. If ...

A key parameter of capacitors is their dielectric absorption (DA). If you want to estimate the capacitor’s quality or recognize its type of dielectric you can simply measure its DA. This simple ...

Nanomechanical systems developed at TU Wien have now reached a level of precision and miniaturization that will allow them to ...

Murata Electronics North America has introduced the GRU series, the world's thinnest embedded monolithic capacitor for substrates. Using advanced ceramic technology, the new 0402 size capacitor, ...

For the makers who need to construct their own capacitors, you must choose a dielectric for it, otherwise known as the material that goes between the plates. One popular material is paraffin wax that ...

The creation of the world's smallest capacitor marks a breakthrough for nanoscale electronics and quantum metrology, enabling ...

A capacitor is a passive electronic component that stores electrical energy in an electric field. It consists of two conducting plates separated by an insulating material called a dielectric. When a ...
