Two-dimensional (2D) perovskites are increasingly recognized as promising candidate materials for the next generation of ...

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.

Semiconductors are central to modern technology. They are used in computer chips, solar cells, sensors, LEDs and ...

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 ...

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 ...

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 ...
