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 ...
Frederik Dostal explains the rise of the ideal diode and how it can be used to develop more robust power systems.
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 ...
The superconducting diode effect allows for nonreciprocal, dissipationless transport. It has the potential to enhance transfer current efficiency compared to the traditional semiconducting equivalent ...
Ever since the development of the first computer, technology has been moving toward making electronics smaller and packing more juice into them. This has led to the development of nanoelectronics, ...
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 ...
Diodes Incorporated has unveiled a new automotive-grade boost controller aimed at the growing market for high-resolution ...
