This video explains what a diode is and how it controls the direction of current in electronic circuits. Diodes allow current to flow in only one direction, making them essential for rectification, ...

A superconducting strip allows more superconducting current to flow in one direction than in the other—achieving a stronger diode effect than previous devices. The new superconducting diode design ...

A team of researchers led by the University of Pittsburgh demonstrated a programmable superconducting diode at the LaAlO 3 /KTaO 3 (LAO/KTO) interface, an advance that holds potential to enhance/help ...

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 ...

Rolls-Royce has been granted a patent for a current limiting diode that features a thermoelectric generator. This generator absorbs heat from the diode’s channel, generating a thermoelectric voltage ...

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 ...

The superconducting diode effect allows for nonreciprocal, dissipationless transport. It has the potential to enhance transfer current efficiency compared to the traditional semiconducting equivalent ...

Littelfuse, Inc. now offers users the ability to customize the upscreening and sorting process flows for High-Reliability Transient Voltage Suppression (TVS) Diodes. These components protect sensitive ...
