Electricity doesn’t just flow freely in every direction—it needs control. That control comes from a tiny but powerful ...

Frederik Dostal explains the rise of the ideal diode and how it can be used to develop more robust power systems.

We’re all familiar with semiconductor diodes, whose function is to allow electricity to easily flow in one direction and impede its progress in the other. A thermal diode performs a similar gating ...

The Zener diode is similar to a general-purpose signal diode which consists of a silicon PN junction. It is a special kind of diode in which current is allowed to flow in the forward direction in 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 ...

Electromagnetic waves with frequencies between microwave and infrared light, also known as terahertz radiation, are leveraged by many existing technologies, including various imaging tools and ...

A diode design can make terahertz signals stronger & work better, helping build smaller devices for imaging, sensing, and wireless communication.

Global cybersecurity leader Forcepoint today announced the launch of Forcepoint Data Diode, a hardware solution that provides uni-directional data flow to enable rapid, automated data transfer while ...
