Diodes today are solid-state devices, but in the beginning of the electronics age, they were crystals, as it was the German physicist Ferdinand Braun who first discovered in 1874 that crystals had ...

As electronic devices become ever more complex, and the densities of components in those devices increases exponentially, we are rapidly approaching the day when the limitations of Moore's Law will be ...

Read the article to find out how commonly lasers are used in different applications. Laser technology is commonly used in a wide range of industrial and medical equipment, but also in devices found in ...

A team of researchers from Ohio State University (Columbus, OH), the Naval Research Laboratory (Washington, DC), and the University of California (Riverside, CA) has created a tunnel diode offering ...

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 ...

The electronic diode is a device that allows current to travel in one direction but not the other. That makes them handy things to have around. So handy, in fact, that you’d be hard pressed to find an ...

Although they are usually limited to only two leads, rectifiers and diodes play an important role in power electronic systems. In 2011, many types of rectifier/diodes were introduced, from bridge ...

Researchers working collaboratively between the University of Georgia, USA and Ben-Gurion University of the Negev, Israel have developed the world's smallest diode. A diode is an essential component ...

Scientists from the RIKEN Center for Emergent Matter Science and colleagues have developed a new way to fabricate ...

Diode maker HY Electronic (Cayman) has become a supplier of rectifier diodes used in ICCB (in-cable control box) of power charging facilities for electric vehicles (EVs), according to the company. HY ...

Researchers have developed a new resonant tunneling diode (RTD) with performance beyond the anticipated speed of 5G. David Storm, a research physicist, and Tyler Growden, an electrical engineer, both ...
