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

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 ...

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 ...

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

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 ...

Don't tell Palm or WildCharge, but analysts Strategy Analytics reckon that right now wireless charging is "pointless". In fact, according to the company's latest report, manufacturers of wireless ...
