Among the abundance of components making up electronic circuits, very few are as important as capacitors. These components, ...

At low frequency, a transmission line, open at one end, looks like a capacitor. After all, it is just two conductors, the signal path and the return path, with some insulation between them. This is ...

Energy saving: artist’s impression of the gate material with negative capacitance. (Courtesy: Ella Maru Studio) By exploiting a curious effect called negative capacitance, researchers have designed a ...

Ferroelectric materials, which were discovered nearly a hundred years ago, and have led to a huge range of applications, including digital information storage and neuromorphic computing, are still not ...

Ferroelectrics are getting a serious re-examination, as chipmakers look for new options to maintain drive current. Ferroelectric materials can provide non-volatile memory, serving an important ...
