Every now and then you need to make your own capacitor. That includes choosing a dielectric for it, the insulating material that goes between the plates. One dielectric material that I use a lot is ...

Dielectric thermal analysis (DETA) is a materials science technique in which an oscillating electric field is used to analyze changes in the physical properties of a number of polar materials. This ...

Capacitive sensors are found in a wide range of equipment, from consumer electronics to industrial/process control. Touch buttons are increasingly found in lamps and dimmers. Motion detectors can ...
