Scientists at the U.S. Department of Energy’s Brookhaven National Laboratory are studying a mysterious material that may lead to significant advances in the miniaturisation of electronics. This work ...

A new study led by a pair of researchers at the University of Massachusetts Amherst turns long-held conventional wisdom about a certain type of polymer on its head, greatly expanding understanding of ...

dielectric constant, property of an electrical insulating material (a dielectric) equal to the ratio of the capacitance of a capacitor filled with the given material to the capacitance of an identical ...

MINNEAPOLIS / ST. PAUL (06/13/2022)—A University of Minnesota Twin Cities-led research team has solved a longstanding mystery surrounding strontium titanate, an unusual metal oxide that can be an ...

SrTiO₃ (STO) is an incipient ferroelectric perovskite oxide for which the onset of ferroelectric order is suppressed by quantum fluctuations. This property results in a very large increase in static ...

For the makers who need to construct their own capacitors, you must choose a dielectric for it, otherwise known as the material that goes between the plates. One popular material is paraffin wax that ...

The dielectric properties of materials ranging from electrical insulation to copier toner can indicate a manufacturing process that needs adjustment. While accurate dielectric-constant and dissipation ...

Every now and then you need to make your own capacitor. That includes choosing a dielectric for it, the insulating material that goes between the plates. One dielectric material that I use a lot is ...
