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

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 ...

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 ...

As digital still cameras (DSCs) and mobile phone cameras become more popular, users are demanding higher-quality photos under lower-light conditions. The popular Xenon photoflash is excited by high ...
