This heating reversibly alters the electrical capacitance of the plasma membrane, depolarizing the target cell. This mechanism is fully reversible and requires only the most basic properties of ...

Here we investigate the origin of this behaviour by measuring the electrical double-layer capacitance in one to five-layer graphene. We find that the capacitances are suppressed near neutrality ...

With their new strategy, they can use light exposure to change the electrical capacitance of the neurons' membranes, which alters their excitability (how strongly or weakly they respond to ...

The electrical capacitance, which shows the ability of a leaf to store a charge, stayed roughly constant at a minimum value during dark periods and increased rapidly during light periods, implying ...

The electrical capacitance increases as the dielectric absorbs water, since the dielectric coefficient increases with increased moisture—a direct indication of the relative humidity. The net ...

Capacitance is the ability of a device to store electric charge, and as such, the electronic component that stores electric charge is called a capacitor. The earliest example of a capacitor is the ...

These locked-down dipoles are no longer able to move when ac voltage changes, resulting in the decrease of capacitance. The dc bias effect has been well-observed by all electrical engineers.
