Essentially, every capacitor comes with a free resistor and inductor (at the very least). Loosely termed the parasitics, these elements affect capacitor performance, causing real values to depart from ...

In today's world of increasing electrical noise, higher-speed logic, and more-sensitive circuits, the need for high-frequency noise filtering is especially critical. Noise can enter a circuit through ...

Virtually every type of electronic hardware incorporates capacitors, which are widely used for functions such as bypassing, coupling, filtering, and tunneling electronic circuits. However, to be ...

A new method to stop current leaking from capacitors could vastly improve computer memory chips. Researchers from Seoul National University and Ewha Woman’s University in Korea have significantly ...

Where high currents are involved and conventional batteries are deficient, supercapacitors offer savings in size and a unique combination of high-power and high-energy performance parameters. Also ...

My wife thinks I’m crazy. She has been watching me discharging piles of coin cells over the last year, collecting millions of data points about their behavior. “Honey, exactly why are you spending all ...
