First, let's define a capacitor: It is an electromechanical device capable of storing electrical energy (electrons). It differs from a battery, as a battery produces electrical energy as a by-product ...

An ultrathin ferroelectric capacitor, designed by researchers from Japan, demonstrates strong electric polarization despite ...
