A paper published June 12, 2026, in Nature Communications has set a new performance record for lead-free ceramic capacitors based on barium lanthanum titanate-niobate, a result that arrives as the ...

Polarizable nanodomains in lead-free BNT ceramics overcome the trade-off between energy storage density and efficiency at moderate electric fields. (Nanowerk News) A team of materials scientists has ...

A research group has used nanosheet technology to develop a dielectric capacitor for advanced electronic and electrical power systems. Innovations in energy storage technology are vital for the ...

Engineers designing power electronics find that capacitors are needed for several functions, from energy storage to filters and decoupling. Different capacitor types are available, that at first sight ...

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 ...

Since the first waterwheel and windmill, people have been “harvesting” energy from one source and applying it to another. Today, the sources of the harvest have exploded to reap extremely tiny amounts ...

The silicon-based computer chips that power our modern devices require vast amounts of energy to operate. Despite ever-improving computing efficiency, information technology is projected to consume ...

Our fundamental passive and inherently analog components—resistors, capacitors, and inductors—are so conceptually simple and easy to describe that we often don’t fully articulate or appreciate the ...
