They have none of the special skills you’d find in tunnel, Gunn, varicap, Zener, and avalanche diodes, or even LEDs, instead they are simply a one-way valve for electrical current. Connect ...

A diode allows current to travel in only one direction. With that in mind, [Alex] built a mechanical diode that will only allow gear rotation in one direction to be transmitted through the system.

The one-directional flow of the current observed in this study makes possible functionality beyond ordinary diodes, paving the way for more environmentally friendly data storage, ultra-fine two ...

See diode. Built like two diodes in a row (three PN junctions) but with a third terminal, a thyristor is a one-way valve that, once turned on, lets current flow until it falls below a certain ...

Thermal diodes, much like their electrical counterparts, provide unidirectional heat transfer, allowing heat to flow in one ... the way an electronic diode facilitates unidirectional current ...

This will certainly lead to a new paradigm in the way ... current, they estimated the lifetime to be 5000 h. This work is significant because it establishes InGaN-based laser diodes as very ...

A simple way to test whether a component is active ... and removing noise. Diode The diode is a two-terminal electronic component that allows an electric current to pass in one direction (low ...
