Engineers have long known how to steer electricity in one direction, but heat has been far harder to tame. Now a new one-way thermal “diode” promises to give designers similar control over heat flow, ...

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 ...

Metal-insulator-metal (MIM) diodes might just be the technology that allows electronics achieve the next big leap in processing speed. Research into diode design conducted at the Oregon State ...

Today, the speed of your computer is limited by how fast electrons pass through silicon-based transistors. Oregon State University researchers are re-thinking how electronics are built. Douglas ...

The diode showed no resistance in the forward direction, normal resistance in the backward direction, and it worked with zero applied magnetic field. The research to date has been done at extremely ...

According to newly published research, Nagoya University scientists, in cooperation with the Asahi Kasei Corporation, have designed a laser diode that emits deep-ultraviolet light. "Our laser diode ...

Zetex has announced a synchronous rectifier controller for flyback converters. Combined with a discrete power Mosfet, the ZXGD3101T8 ‘zero point detector driver’ replaces Schottky and other diodes to ...

LAFOX, Ill., Nov. 12, 2020 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- Richardson Electronics, Ltd. (NASDAQ: RELL) announces the availability of new SiC Schottky diodes from UnitedSiC, now with the lowest VF-Qc for fast ...

It seems to be Ideal Diode Week at Electronics Weekly (here and here) as Diodes is also promoting one, this time an ideal diode that can cope with ±65V on its input and drops only 20mV when conducting ...

I'm sort of curious myself. I've been on the software side of things for a long time, but I have a lot of EE coworkers, and I've been curious about learning a little about building electronics, to the ...
