What Does a Diode Actually Do?

A diode is a tiny component with a powerful job—controlling the direction of electrical current. This video explains how ...
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. COLUMBUS, Ohio – Engineers ...
Engineers in Switzerland have built light-emitting diodes so small that hundreds could line up across the width of a single ...
Miniaturization ranks as the driving force behind the semiconductor industry. The tremendous gains in computer performance since the 1950s are largely due to the fact that ever smaller structures can ...
Frederik Dostal explains the rise of the ideal diode and how it can be used to develop more robust power systems.
The superconducting diode effect allows for nonreciprocal, dissipationless transport. It has the potential to enhance transfer current efficiency compared to the traditional semiconducting equivalent ...
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 new one-step process miniaturises OLEDs to smaller than their emitted wavelength, enabling precise control of light ...
Diodes Incorporated has unveiled a new automotive-grade boost controller aimed at the growing market for high-resolution ...
There's no foolproof way to know the future for Diodes (NAS: DIOD) or any other company. However, certain clues may help you see potential stumbles before they happen -- and before your stock craters ...
