This video explains how diodes function as directional components in electronic circuits. Diodes allow current to flow in ...

When it comes to the sound-proofing of buildings, most people likely think of using materials that simply absorb the sound waves in a noisy room, so they can't proceed into a neighboring quiet room.

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 ...

Scientists successfully control the direction of current in a superconductor, creating a superconducting diode. (Nanowerk News) What would happen if you combined the unparalleled efficiency of a ...

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 ...

New York, NY--May 25, 2015--Under the direction of Latha Venkataraman, associate professor of applied physics at Columbia Engineering, researchers have designed a new technique to create a ...

Researchers have now found a way to manufacture single-molecule diodes that can perform 50 times better than previous diode designs. In a study published in the journal Nature Nanotechnology, ...
