For the first time, researchers in China have demonstrated a high-temperature superconducting diode effect, which allows a ...

Last week we covered diodes, specifically thermionic and PN junction diodes. But oh, there are more; and they’re special! One of the the most commonly used ‘specialty’ diode would have to be the metal ...

Australian semiconductor developer BluGlass has successfully demonstrated working tunnel junction laser diodes in a world-first proof-of-concept using its proprietary remote plasma chemical vapour ...

The diode is a fundamental component you must understand if you want to grow your electronics prowess. So today, we’re going to take a quick look at what a diode is, then look at 4½ uses for a diode ...

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, ...

Find a downloadable version of this story in pdf format at the end of the story. Silicon Schottky diodes are used in power applications because of their low forward voltage drop, which allows lower ...
