Penn State researchers have developed a new high-temperature polymer capacitor that can store four ...

In the race for lighter, safer and more efficient electronics—from electric vehicles to transcontinental energy grids—one ...

There are many applications which require pulse power. The needed burst of energy is derived by rapidly discharging a previously charged capacitor. As the energy stored in a capacitor is equal to ...

Before Lunar New Year, I had ordered two 3000 F, 2.7 V supercapacitors from China for about $4 each. I don’t actually remember why, but they arrived (unexpectedly) just before the holiday.

A recent research project using a capacitive sensor tomeasure water levels comprises two PCB (printed-circuit-board) plates placed one in front of the other at a controlleddistance. Every plate ...

Your phone died. Again. In these scenarios, who among us has not dreamed the dream of a future where our devices charge instantly and last forever. As capacitors—or even more exciting, ultracapacitors ...
