If you have ever entertained yourself by reading comprehensive electronic-theory textbooks you’ll have seen references to technologies that sound really interesting but which you will rarely hold in ...

PORTLAND, Ore. — Semiconductor researchers have known since the 1950s that the quantum-confinement effects of tunnel diodes boost circuit speed and current handling while reducing component count and ...

A circulator is a waveguide device that allows energy to travel in one direction only. The tunnel diode in the figure shown is connected across a tuned-input circuit. This arrangement normally ...

COLUMBUS, Ohio – Engineers have designed a new diode that transmits more electricity than any other device of its kind, and the inspiration for it came from technology that is 40 years old. Unlike ...

A quantum mechanical transport phenomenon demonstrated for the first time in synthetic, atomically-thin layered material at room temperature could lead to novel nanoelectronic circuits and devices. A ...

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 ...

Despite being well documented, nonlinearity—its theory and applications—is often viewed as a novelty or strange anomaly. Here, we’ll argue the opposite point of view. Nonlinear and negative ...
