For decades, multi-layer ceramic capacitors (MLCCs) have been the go-to choice for surface-mounted capacitors due to their many advantages, such as wide available capacitance range, non-polarity, low ...

Capacitive touch technology has made tremendous inroads into a wide range of applications since its introduction to the market. Touch technology began with resistive touch screens used in the first ...

Capacitive-proximity sensors have been used widely in industrial applications such as counting products on a conveyor, detecting position of valves, presence of objects etc. In recent years, the use ...

Scanning microwave microscopy (SMM) is a scanning probe method that uses the S11 parameter to calculate the local tip-sample microwave impedance. This impedance is affected by the sample’s local ...

Electromechanical switches are simple, cheap, and widely available (Fig. 1). However, they’re also plagued with a number of disadvantages, including wear with repeated use, and the potential for ...
