Long post, so sharing the key part,
> if you heat the ceramic [capacitor] above its Curie temperature, all of the titanium atoms go back into a regular cubic lattice. if you cool it rapidly (just heat sinking away to the board is fine) it resets the aging process. and you can do this infinity times. suddenly the capacitance is back up to where it was before it even left the factory.
> the Curie temperature is pretty low. like, 120°C ish.
