The shift to 800-volt systems and Silicon Carbide inverters, while increasing efficiency, imposes extreme thermal and electrical stress on passive components like capacitors, effectively trading short ...

The Bluetti Charger 2 is the company's latest charger for van life, RVs and digital nomads. I took a look at CES 2026. Ajay has worked in tech journalism for over a decade as a reporter, analyst, ...

Japanese and Korean passive-component makers are diverting more capacity to high-end capacitors used in AI servers, tightening supply in mainstream electronics, and creating new openings for Taiwanese ...

Peak Nano has secured two US patents that position American manufacturers to advance high-performance capacitor film technology. The breakthrough addresses supply chain vulnerabilities while ...

Researchers at the Cavendish Laboratory, University of Cambridge have demonstrated a new way to control radiation in the terahertz range—an often-overlooked part of the electromagnetic spectrum—with ...

Alternators are an essential component of any combustion engine, acting to continuously provide power to the car's electrical systems by recharging the onboard battery. Its parts are relatively simple ...

Your car won't start for the second day in a row. You ask your neighbor for a jump (again) and head off to work — late, of course. You come to the conclusion that it has to be the battery or the ...

The capacitor auto-discharge module presented in this article is simply a failsafe module that automatically discharges the buffer/filter capacitor in a power supply circuit when its input supply is ...

It’s a widely known problem with roots in urban legend: Devices with motherboards failing in the early 2000s with a sudden pop, a gruesome spill, or sometimes a burst of flames. And it was allegedly ...

Everyone knows that the perfect capacitor to decouple the power rails around ICs is a 100 nF ceramic capacitor or equivalent, yet where does this ‘fact’ come from and is it even correct? These are the ...

Samsung Electro-Mechanics Co. (Semco) began mass-producing silicon capacitors for global semiconductor firms in the fourth quarter of 2024, with plans to ramp up supply diversification both ...
