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

When it comes to the sound-proofing of buildings, most people likely think of using materials that simply absorb the sound waves in a noisy room, so they can't proceed into a neighboring quiet room.

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 ...

A diode is a small but powerful component that only lets electricity flow in one direction. In this video, you'll learn how ...

(Nanowerk News) One speaks of a superconducting diode effect when a material behaves like a superconductor in one direction of current flow and like a resistor in the other. In contrast to 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 ...

Researchers have created a diode out of a 1 nm-sized single molecule with high rectification ratios. Diodes, commonly used in in everyday electronic devices, allow current to flow in one direction ...

Superconductors are the key to lossless current flow. However, the realization of superconducting diodes has only recently become an important topic of fundamental research. An international research ...
