Capacitors are tools that can make new types of electronics possible. Basically. A capacitor is a metal bite that doesn't release its power until the switch connects it to the system. Capacitors can make new lightweight energy storage solutions possible. Unlike chemical batteries, capacitors don't need acids. The capacitor has one problem. Those systems can store lots of energy inside them. But the capacitor releases that energy in less than a second.
That forms a very high voltage impulse in the system. And that causes damage to the microchips. The chemical batteries are easier to control than capacitors. But if that problem can be solved the capacitors can form a new, environmentally friendly energy solution for lightweight devices.

New metamaterials are the ultimate tools. Those new materials like plastic-metal hybrid materials are tools for new types of capacitors whose shape can be different from the traditional systems used. The new metamaterials can store more energy than conventional materials. And they can be useful in new types of energy solutions. Long plastic polymers there the metal bites can store lots of energy. The problem is how to release that energy precisely at the right moment. And with the precise right power. The metamaterials can use small fibers that impact those metal bites.
That allows the system to transport energy out from the capacitor with a very high accuracy. If those capacitors release very strong energy impulses electricity will be lost if that voltage is transported through a traditional transformer. The answer can be a polymer that transports metal bites to electrodes. The number of those metal bites determines the voltage and power that the capacitor releases. The ability to adjust the power of the energy that the capacitor releases is a vital component in successful energy technology.
