A diode is a device that allows current to flow in one direction but not in the other. This ability makes diodes useful in many applications, including converting AC to DC, regulating voltages, and ...

A diode is an electric device which allows the flow of current only in one direction and restricts the current flow in the opposite direction. A diode starts its operations when a voltage signal is ...

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

Two start-up companies are claiming that their diode-laser systems can be used to replace solid-state lasers in some applications. Nadya Anscombe reports. Diode lasers are becoming increasing powerful ...

PIN diodes are widely used as antenna switches and as switches in phase-shifter applications for phased arrays, radar, and broadband instrumentation. Silicon beam lead devices dominate the market. Now ...
