Researchers capture an image of negative capacitance in action

For the first time ever, an international team of researchers–led by Prof. Sayeef Salahuddin–imaged the microscopic state of negative capacitance. This novel result provides researchers with fundamental, atomistic insight into the physics of negative capacitance, which could have far-reaching consequences for energy-efficient electronics.  “The upshot is that the opposite relation…
