A team of researchers led by the University of Pittsburgh demonstrated a programmable superconducting diode at the ...

This Design Idea describes a method by which you can detect and assess air or liquid fluid flow using an externally heated semiconductor diode. Airflow across the heated diode reduces its temperature, ...

A single-molecule diode with the highest on–off current (or rectification) ratio to date has been unveiled by a team of physicists and chemists in the US. While single-molecule diodes have been made ...

How a Virginia Tech research team constructed its novel thermal diode. Test results of the thermal diode. Electrical engineers are obviously very familiar and comfortable with the basic diode, a ...

As active devices go, it doesn’t get much simpler than a diode. Two terminals. Current flows in one direction and not in the other. Simple, right? Well, then there are examples with useful side ...

Diodes allow directed flows of current. Without them, modern electronics would be inconceivable. Until now, they had to be made out of two materials with different characteristics. A research team has ...

Central Semiconductor has created a line novel of zero temperature coefficient current limiting diodes, packaged in DPAK and rated at between 27 and 575mA. Minimum voltages range across 1.5 to 2V – ...
