A diode is a tiny component with a powerful job—controlling the direction of electrical current. This video explains how diodes allow electricity to flow one way, block it the other, and protect ...

[Julian] knows that real diodes you can buy don’t work exactly like we say they do. That’s actually pretty common. We routinely ignore things like wire resistance and source resistance in batteries.

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

We might tend to take the word “diode” for granted if we’re thinking of a “diode” as just a two-lead or two-terminal device that gets used in this or that place for this or that purpose. It can become ...

STMicroelectronics has introduced three radiation-hardened low-voltage rectifier diodes intended for power conversion and ...
