Scientists at Lawrence Berkeley National Laboratory and UC Berkeley have created what they're calling "microcapacitors," which integrate energy storage directly into the microchip itself, solving the ...

Berkeley Lab scientists create microcapacitors with ultrahigh energy and power density. The microcapacitors are made with engineered thin films of hafnium oxide and zirconium oxide. The technology ...

In context: The quest for smaller and more energy-efficient devices has led researchers to explore integrating energy storage directly onto microchips, thereby minimizing the energy losses that occur ...
