All eyes on supercapacitors
26 February, 2013 by Dr Peter Harrop, Cambridge, UKSupercapacitors (ultracapacitors) are now centre stage for designers of electronics and particularly power circuits. This is because they are improving faster than the batteries and electrolytic capacitors they increasingly replace. Supercapacitors Europe 2013, forming part of IDTechEx’s premier technology events, is being held in Berlin, Germany, 17 to 18 April.
