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.

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

Since their invention in 1962, semiconductor diode lasers have revolutionized communications and made possible information storage and retrieval in CDs, DVDs and Blu-ray devices. These diode lasers ...

Sound has this habit of traveling in more than one direction -- useful in most circumstances, but not so welcome when a person in one room is looking for a little peace and quiet while someone in the ...

An international team has cracked a challenge that could herald a new era of ultra-high-density computing. For years engineers and scientists around the world have been trying to make smaller and ...

A diode is a device that allows electric current to flow in only one direction, from its anode towards its cathode but not the other way around. There is plenty of online material explaining diode ...

When looking across the discrete components in your electronic armory, it is easy to overlook the humble diode. After all, one can be forgiven for the conclusion that the everyday version of this ...

Littelfuse Inc. (Chicago, IL) has introduced the SP1012 Series TVS Diode Array (SPA® Diodes), a miniature, five-channel 6.5 pF, 15 kV bidirectional TVS array for general-purpose electrostatic ...
