A diode is a semiconductor device that allows electrical current to flow in one direction while blocking it in the other.

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 ...

The polarity markings on LEDs (Light Emitting Diodes) seem to be a common cause of confusion. The polarity may be indicated by a flat section on one side of the body or by one lead being shorter than ...

Read the article to find out how commonly lasers are used in different applications. Laser technology is commonly used in a wide range of industrial and medical equipment, but also in devices found in ...

GE Global Research, the centralized research organization of the General Electric Co., has developed an ideal carbon nanotube diode that operates at the "theoretical limit," or best possible ...

The electronic diode is a device that allows current to travel in one direction but not the other. That makes them handy things to have around. So handy, in fact, that you’d be hard pressed to find an ...

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 ...

Researchers working collaboratively between the University of Georgia, USA and Ben-Gurion University of the Negev, Israel have developed the world's smallest diode. A diode is an essential component ...

Researchers have found a way to make a key electronic component on a phenomenally tiny scale -- a single-molecule diode. Recently, at Arizona State University's Biodesign Institute, N.J. Tao and ...

Diodes Inc. has expanded its automotive-compliant LED driver portfolio, adding the AL8891Q synchronous buck LED driver with high-side current sense that drives up to 2 A from a wide 4.5-V to 65-V ...
