We’re all familiar with semiconductor diodes, whose function is to allow electricity to easily flow in one direction and impede its progress in the other. A thermal diode performs a similar gating ...

Scientists successfully control the direction of current in a superconductor, creating a superconducting diode. (Nanowerk News) What would happen if you combined the unparalleled efficiency of a ...

A diode is an electrical device that allows current to move through it in one direction with far greater ease than in the other. The first diodes were crystals used as rectifiers in home radio kits. A ...
