When choosing a capacitor for any application, there are a few key characteristics that must be understood in order to analyze its suitability for the circuit. In a simple capacitor equivalent circuit ...

The circuit in this Design Idealets you set a well-controlledvoltage rate of change, often expressedas the differential dV/dt (instantaneousrate of voltage change over time involts per second). You ...

Individual pieces of graphene have some pretty amazing properties, but finding a way to produce bulk materials that make good use of those properties has been rather challenging. Now, researchers have ...

Ever wonder what goes on inside of an electrolytic capacitor? Nick Visic from AiSHi Capacitors shows how these popular capacitors work in this tear-down video from DesignCon. The screw terminal ...

Designing a circuit is a lot easier on paper, where components have well-defined values, or lacking that, at least well-defined tolerances. Unfortunately, even keeping percentage tolerances in mind ...

It's "adsorb" not "absorb" (paragraph 2). Adsorption is a surface effect, whereas absorption implies one substance permeating the other. Grammar nit-pick aside, this sounds like a pretty cool tech.
