What would happen if you combined the unparalleled efficiency of a superconductor with the flexibility and controllability of a semiconductor? Thanks to a new breakthrough in quantum materials, we may ...

P-n diodes are two-terminal devices that consist of two types of semiconductor materials (i.e., a p-type and an n-type ...

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 ...

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 ...

Diodes are designed to let electricity flow in only one direction, preventing reverse current in circuits. This video explains how that works and why it’s essential for protecting electronic devices.

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 – ...
