For the first time, researchers in China have demonstrated a high-temperature superconducting diode effect, which allows a ...

A diode is a small but powerful component that only lets electricity flow in one direction. In this video, you'll learn how ...

The superconducting diode effect allows for nonreciprocal, dissipationless transport. It has the potential to enhance transfer current efficiency compared to the traditional semiconducting equivalent ...

When we use an electronic component, we have some idea of what goes on inside it. We know that inside a transistor there’s a little piece of semiconductor with a junction made from differently doped ...

We might tend to take the word “diode” for granted if we’re thinking of a “diode” as just a two-lead or two-terminal device that gets used in this or that place for this or that purpose. It can become ...

A diode is a device that allows electric current to flow in only one direction, from its anode towards its cathode but not the other way around. There is plenty of online material explaining diode ...

Fifteen years ago, touring with lasers meant hauling argon gas tanks and cooling systems that filled entire trucks. Crews ...
