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 ...

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

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 ...

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 ...

Although they are a simple device, diodes do have a number of traits to consider. These traits are often application dependent. Some applications include: rectifiers, signal ORing, transistor turn off ...
