Abstract: A center-tapped rectifier is widely employed in applications requiring low output voltage and high output current. However, the rectifier diodes experience high voltage stresses, resulting ...

Researchers at the Monash University Department of Materials and Science and Engineering have developed a water-based battery potentially capable of providing compact, high-performance battery systems ...

The battery as we know it today was an invention of Italian chemist and physicist Alessandro Volta. He witnessed electricity splitting water into its constituent elements of oxygen and hydrogen and ...

A single-supply, 2.7- ~ 5.5-V, SOT25/SOT26 device from Diodes Inc. features an input common-mode range of up to 26 V. Devices are available to sense unidirectional and bidirectional current. The ...

A model of a quantum thermal diode based on a qubit and qutrit. The asymmetric design allows this system to behave as a thermal diode when connected between two thermal baths. Credit: APL Quantum ...
