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 insulator, a semiconductor, or a metal.

Researchers Tomohito Amano and Shinji Tsuneyuki of the University of Tokyo with Tamio Yamazaki of CURIE (JSR-UTokyo Collaboration Hub) have developed a new machine learning model to predict the ...

Low-dielectric constant (low-k) materials form the insulating layers that separate metal interconnects in modern microelectronic devices. By reducing the dielectric constant below that of silicon ...

Just as circuit metallization must evolve to manage resistance as features shrink, so must the dielectric half of the interconnect stack. For quite some time, manufacturers have needed a dielectric ...

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 ...

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 measure of a material’s ability to store a charge when an electric field is applied, or its “capacitance.” If a material has a high dielectric constant, it reflects more RF energy and detunes the ...

Before we debate the relevancy of Dielectric Absorption relating to speaker cables, and commonly perpetuated by many exotic cable vendors and cable cult hobbyists ...

So, after suffering a good number of static shocks today (and boy are they annoying when wearing in ear headphones!) I got to thinking. We're all familiar with the fact that static electricity is more ...
