Capacitor effect for magnetic monopoles in spin ice. The application of a magnetic potential adds new magnetic monopoles to a crystal of spin ice which then spring apart and store magnetricity.

An ultrathin ferroelectric capacitor, designed by researchers from Japan, demonstrates strong electric polarization despite ...

A capacitor is a passive electronic component that stores electrical energy in an electric field. It consists of two conducting plates separated by an insulating material called a dielectric. When a ...

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 ...
