The Microcapacitor Revolution: On-Chip Energy Storage Breaks Performance Barriers

  For decades, the quest to miniaturize energy storage and integrate it directly onto microchips has faced daunting physics-based limits. Shrinking capacitors typically meant diminishing their ability to store energy, making it necessary to rely on off-chip batteries or capacitors. This reliance introduced significant inefficiencies—losing up to 30% of power during energy transfer—and created performance…
