One of the most common parts and one of the earliest electronic devices is known to be a power diode. Its purpose is to limit the electric current’s ability to flow in one direction while obstructing ...

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 ...

I provided some engineering assistance a couple years ago for a company designing photo-voltaic array (PVA) based power inverters. These are sometimes referred to as micro-inverters since they are ...

Most modern electronic devices consist of several key components: transistors, capacitors, resistors, inductors and diodes. Often, they are supplemented by additional components like crystals and ...

Among passive electronic components, the fuse and diode are well known, well understood, widely used, and essential to many circuits and systems. Still, each has inherent shortcomings that make them ...

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

Researchers have developed a new resonant tunneling diode (RTD) with performance beyond the anticipated speed of 5G. David Storm, a research physicist, and Tyler Growden, an electrical engineer, both ...

Electronic devices are built from many different parts. Understanding how these components work together is key to understanding electronics. Circuit diagrams use symbols to represent each component, ...
