A diode is a small but powerful component that only lets electricity flow in one direction. In this video, you'll learn how ...

Discover the science behind diodes — the tiny components that control the flow of electricity. Learn how they let current ...

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 ...

Forty years ago, scientists theorized that a single molecule could function as a diode—an electronic circuit element that allows current to flow in one direction but not the other. In the ongoing push ...

A diode is an electric device which allows the flow of current only in one direction and restricts the current flow in the opposite direction. A diode starts its operations when a voltage signal is ...

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 ...

A new technique to create a single-molecule diode has been developed by scientists, and, in doing so, they have developed molecular diodes that perform 50 times better than all prior designs. This ...

Various kinds of diodes have a property called “storage charge.” The effect of storage charge is that when a diode is carrying a current in its forward conduction mode, getting that current to stop ...

OSAKA, Japan--(BUSINESS WIRE)--Panasonic Corporation today announced that it developed gallium nitride (GaN) diodes that can not only operate at a high current that is four times greater than that ...
