The introduction of several new dielectric materials for high-speed ultra-large-scale integration (ULSI) microelectronics has increased the necessity for metrology tools to measure the ...

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.

Low dielectric constant polymers, often termed low‐k materials, represent a crucial class of polymeric insulators that combine excellent thermal stability, reduced water uptake, and superior ...

At the Tokyo Tech LG Material & Life Solution Collaborative Research Cluster, a joint research team has developed a ferroelectric dimeric liquid crystal with spontaneous polarization that exceeds (8 ...

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 ...

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 ...

Most space missions rely on chemical rockets for propulsion. Rockets must carry fuel, which increases spacecraft mass and limits their speed and travel distance. For decades, researchers have explored ...

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 ...
