Researchers have discovered the means by which a polymer known as PVDF enables capacitors to store and release large amounts of energy quickly. Their findings could lead to much more powerful and ...

Antony Ingram March 21, 2012 Comment Now! Drivers of hybrid and electric vehicles will be used to the feel of regenerative braking. As you brake, or even lift off the accelerator pedal in some ...

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.

Scientists are now proposing a novel approach to achieve greater memory density while producing less heat: by using an electric field instead of a current to turn magnetism on and off, thereby ...
