The new capacitor is much smaller than a conventional device. (Courtesy: Nanyang Technological University) Researchers in Singapore have developed a prototype polymer capacitor that can store much ...

In electrical circuits that drive lasers, run cardiac implants, or convert between alternating and direct current, components called capacitors produce large, fast pulses of energy. A new composite ...

When it comes to increasing electric storage efficiency and electric breakdown strength -- the ability of an electrical system to operate at higher voltage and temperatures with great efficiency -- ...

Photo 1: The pullout shows a capacitor prototype with stratified 2D nanofillers embedded in the polymer matrix being tested in a University of Houston lab. In the quest for more efficient and ...

While capacitor versions have not changed much, there are a number of new power applications, where they are now used, such as alternative energy, electric vehicles (EVs), energy storage and more.
