A capacitor is like a high-speed battery that can quickly store and release energy. What happens when it becomes 'super?' Researchers have potential solutions to improve energy-efficiency. Researchers ...

By “sprinkling” iron azaphthalocyanine (FeAzPc-4N), a type of blue pigment, onto activated carbon, the team increased the capacity of capacitors by 2.4 times (to 907 F/gAC) compared to carbon alone.

Researchers from the Institute of Science Tokyo and Canon ANELVA Corporation built an ultrathin ferroelectric memory capacitor stack using scandium-substituted aluminum nitride ((Al,Sc)N) thin films ...

(Nanowerk News) Society’s growing demand for high-voltage electrical technologies – including pulsed power systems, cars and electrified aircraft, and renewable energy applications – requires a new ...

(Nanowerk News) Researchers at Tohoku University have successfully increased the capacity, lifetime durability, and cost-effectiveness of a capacitor in their pursuit of a more power-efficient future.

LA JOLLA, CA – Scripps Research, the Department of Energy’s Lawrence Berkeley National Laboratory (Berkeley Lab), and several other collaborating institutions have successfully demonstrated a ...
