With this Euro­pean patent approval, the com­pa­ny has secured Inter­pos­er IP in all major glob­al markets. IR Blog Posts ![Positioning for the Next Wave of AI Infrastructure](https://www.smoltek.com/wp-content/uploads/2025/09/smoltek-ai-society-1920x1080-1.webp) May 8, 2026 ### [Positioning for the Next Wave of AI Infrastructure](https://www.smoltek.com/positioning-for-the-next-wave-of-ai-infrastructure/23610/) The 2026 YAGEO AI Sum­mit in Taipei was not sim­ply a prod­uct show­case. It was a strate­gic posi­tion­ing exer­cise by one of the world’s largest pas­sive com­po­nent man­u­fac­tur­ers to estab­lish itself as a foun­da­tion­al enabler of the AI infra­struc­ture build­out now under­way globally. News ![Major Capacitor Manufacturer extends life test of CNF-MIM Capacitors](https://www.smoltek.com/wp-content/uploads/2025/11/cnf-mim-ai-chip.webp) March 27, 2026 ### [Major Capacitor Manufacturer extends life test of CNF-MIM Capacitors](https://www.smoltek.com/major-capacitor-manufacturer-extends-life-test-of-cnf-mim-capacitors/23511/) Our CNF-MIM tech­nol­o­gy has demon­strat­ed sta­ble elec­tri­cal per­for­mance after 2,000 hours in an inde­pen­dent life test con­duct­ed by a glob­al capac­i­tor man­u­fac­tur­er. This fur­ther strength­ens con­fi­dence in the reli­a­bil­i­ty of the tech­nol­o­gy and sup­ports Smoltek’s devel­op­ment of advanced capac­i­tors for AI, RF and opto­elec­tron­ics, among oth­er applications.  News ![CNF-MIM Capacitors Reliability Validated by Major Capacitor Manufacturer](https://www.smoltek.com/wp-content/uploads/2023/02/220608-smoltek-renrum-10-jpg.webp) Feb­ru­ary 24, 2026 ### [CNF-MIM Capacitors Reliability Validated by Major Capacitor Manufacturer](https://www.smoltek.com/cnf-mim-capacitors-reliability-validated-by-major-capacitor-manufacturer-duplicate/23490/) An inde­pen­dent, third-par­ty reli­a­bil­i­ty test of our CNF-MIM capac­i­tor tech­nol­o­gy has con­firmed the reli­a­bil­i­ty results com­mu­ni­cat­ed on Feb­ru­ary 5, 2026. The inde­pen­dent val­i­da­tion, per­formed by a major capac­i­tor man­u­fac­tur­er, also reduces tech­ni­cal risk in the com­mer­cial­iza­tion process and strength­ens Smoltek’s cred­i­bil­i­ty in ongo­ing nego­ti­a­tions with indus­tri­al partners.  News ![CNF-MIM Capacitors Demonstrate 1,000x Lower Current Leakage in Life Test](https://www.smoltek.com/wp-content/uploads/2025/08/smoltek-mc2-02-2000x1125-1.webp) Feb­ru­ary 5, 2026 ### [CNF-MIM Capacitors Demonstrate 1,000x Lower Current Leakage in Life Test](https://www.smoltek.com/cnf-mim-capacitors-demonstrate-1000x-lower-current-leakage-in-life-test/21983/) Smoltek’s CNF-MIM capac­i­tors demon­strate excel­lent sta­bil­i­ty in a new 1,000-hour life test at 85°C under applied 2 volts. No degra­da­tions were observed, and the capac­i­tors exhib­it­ed more than 1,000 times low­er cur­rent leak­age com­pared to the pre­vi­ous life test. IR Blog Posts ![Breaking Barriers, part IV: the age of AI](https://www.smoltek.com/wp-content/uploads/2025/12/age-of-ai-downtown2coins.webp) Decem­ber 19, 2025 ### [Breaking Barriers, part IV: the age of AI](https://www.smoltek.com/breaking-barriers-part-iv-the-age-of-ai/17165/) Some years ago, in three arti­cles, I out­lined a vision where nano­ma­te­ri­als in gen­er­al, and Smoltek’s pro­pri­etary nan­otech­nol­o­gy plat­form in par­tic­u­lar, would help in break­ing bar­ri­ers in sev­er­al indus­tries – espe­cial­ly in the semi­con­duc­tor indus­try – bring­ing more super­s­mart gad­gets to society.  IR Blog Posts ![Smoltek Semi & AI](https://www.smoltek.com/wp-content/uploads/2025/09/smoltek-ai-society-1920x1080-1.webp) Decem­ber 17, 2025 ### [Smoltek Semi & AI](https://www.smoltek.com/smoltek-semi-ai/13551/) Arti­fi­cial intel­li­gence (AI) is the col­lec­tive term for tech­nolo­gies that enable com­put­ers to per­form tasks that nor­mal­ly require human intel­li­gence – such as rec­og­niz­ing images, under­stand­ing lan­guage, play­ing games or mak­ing deci­sions. It is based on algo­rithms, math­e­mat­i­cal mod­els and (now main­ly) Machine Learn­ing and Deep Learn­ing, where neur­al net­works are trained on large data sets. IR Blog Posts ![Smoltek celebrates 20 years in nanotechnology](https://www.smoltek.com/wp-content/uploads/2017/10/youtube-this-is-smoltek-jpg.webp) Decem­ber 12, 2025 ### [Smoltek celebrates 20 years in nanotechnology](https://www.smoltek.com/smoltek-celebrates-20-years-in-nanotechnology/16275/) Smoltek con­ducts advanced research and inno­va­tion based on nan­otech­nol­o­gy to devel­op new mate­r­i­al tech­nol­o­gy oppor­tu­ni­ties that can solve many of today’s indus­tri­al chal­lenges. This jour­ney began 20 years ago, when Dr. Shafiq Kabir, togeth­er with David Brudö and Dr. Peter Enoks­son, found­ed the company.
