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 ...
Current capacitors often require dedicated cooling loops to keep them operating within a safe temperature range. If the capacitor itself can withstand the heat of an engine block or a high-voltage ...
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 ...
Our fundamental passive and inherently analog components—resistors, capacitors, and inductors—are so conceptually simple and easy to describe that we often don’t fully articulate or appreciate the ...
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 ...
Choosing the right capacitor, especially the right tantalum capacitor, is crucial to ensure equipment reliability both at first turn-on and over time. Always consider derating to achieve the best ...
LA JOLLA, CA – Scripps Research, the Department of Energy’s Lawrence Berkeley National Laboratory (Berkeley Lab), and several other collaborating institutions have successfully demonstrated a ...
