Electricity doesn’t just flow freely in every direction—it needs control. That control comes from a tiny but powerful component: the diode. In this video, you’ll learn how diodes work, why they allow ...

A semiconductor-based laser used to generate analog signals or digital pulses for transmission through optical fibers. Both laser diodes and LEDs (light-emitting diodes) are used for this purpose, but ...

The diode is one of the most commonly adopted and simply made elementary component in semiconductor technology. It’s been the basic starting brick for the construction of all electronic technology, ...

A diode design can make terahertz signals stronger & work better, helping build smaller devices for imaging, sensing, and wireless communication.

With a tuning range from 0.5V to 2.5V, the ZV950 series of hyperabrupt varactor diodes meets the requirements of 3V frequency control and filtering systems. The diodes are reported to be characterized ...

PROVIDENCE, R.I. [Brown University] — Superconductors — materials that conduct electricity with zero loss of energy — have been well-understood since the development of what’s called the BCS theory in ...

Electromagnetic waves with frequencies between microwave and infrared light, also known as terahertz radiation, are leveraged by many existing technologies, including various imaging tools and ...

Some groups have coaxed modest numbers of electrons through plastics using quantum mechanical effects, but only by painstakingly manipulating individual molecules at cryogenic temperatures. But a ...
