This video explains the function of diodes and how they are used to control the flow of electrical current in electronic ...

Researchers explain why weak magnetic fields can instantly control electrical flow direction in these quantum metals.

How a Virginia Tech research team constructed its novel thermal diode. Test results of the thermal diode. Electrical engineers are obviously very familiar and comfortable with the basic diode, a ...

Shini explores electric current, voltaic cells, and how we get electric charge. Electric current works like a river... kinda... Instead of flowing based on elevation ...

In a remarkable leap for quantum physics, researchers in Japan have uncovered how weak magnetic fields can reverse tiny ...

If you are an EE you definitely know the answer to this, or at least you think you do. If you said positive to negative, you are wrong. Then you remember that current flow is a charge of electrons ...

Electric current comes in many forms: current in a wire, flow of ions between the plates of a battery and between plates during electrolysis, as arcs, sparks, and so on. However, here on Hackaday we ...

In school, you might have learned that electrons were negatively charged and protons were positive. This is not a fact of nature but a human-invented convention. It’s a fact that protons and electrons ...
