When we use an electronic component, we have some idea of what goes on inside it. We know that inside a transistor there’s a little piece of semiconductor with a junction made from differently doped ...

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

The basis of a solid-state diode laser is, of course, the diode. Laser diodes can have different emission wavelength—most of them have between 405 nm to 808 nm. The diodes usually have TO3, TO5, TO9, ...

For the first time, researchers in China have demonstrated a high-temperature superconducting diode effect, which allows a supercurrent to flow in both directions. Published in Nature Physics, the ...

A diode is a device that allows electric current to flow in only one direction, from its anode towards its cathode but not the other way around. There is plenty of online material explaining diode ...

Series troubleshooting: Bypass diodes fail regularly, either because they do not have a high enough power rating or because they are overloaded due to nearby lightning strikes. With the following ...
