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

How a Virginia Tech research team constructed its novel thermal diode. Test results of the thermal diode. Electrical engineers are obviously very familiar and comfortable with the basic diode, a ...

A single-molecule diode with the highest on–off current (or rectification) ratio to date has been unveiled by a team of physicists and chemists in the US. While single-molecule diodes have been made ...

An avalanche photodiode (APD) delivers a useful electron-multiplier gain and generally improves signal-to-noise ratio (SNR) in optical communication systems. An APD is similar to a PIN photodiode with ...
