Ceramic capacitors are small, they don’t leak, they’re convenient, but they are downright strange. Certain types of caps will lose their capacitance depending on the voltage they’re operating at. If ...

Engineers usually have access to signal and function generators, as well as frequency counters and oscilloscopes, but they may not have access to capacitance or inductance meters. Using the test setup ...

Capacitive sensors are found in a wide range of equipment, from consumer electronics to industrial/process control. Touch buttons are increasingly found in lamps and dimmers. Motion detectors can ...

In the Kingston-upon-Thames museum are standard yards from the past. Made of iron, theywere the fundamental unit of length in their day. The trouble is they differ in length, some by hundreds of ...

The late 1950s [Bill Haley], [Elvis Presley], and [Little Richard] were building a new kind of music. Meanwhile, electronic hobbyists were building their own gear from Heathkit. A lot of that gear ...

Murata Electronics North America has introduced the GRU series, the world's thinnest embedded monolithic capacitor for substrates. Using advanced ceramic technology, the new 0402 size capacitor, ...

A spin capacitor measuring just one square inch could store 100 Terabytes of data. Dr Oscar Cespedes, Associate Professor in the School of Physics and Astronomy who supervised the research, said: ...
