A semiconductor diode is a non-linear device whose most outstanding feature is the fact that, basically, current is only allowed to flow in one direction. The diode is built by joining together two ...

As active devices go, it doesn’t get much simpler than a diode. Two terminals. Current flows in one direction and not in the other. Simple, right? Well, then there are examples with useful side ...

Here is an overview of how different types of current limiting diodes function in circuit protection: Zener diodes allow current to flow in the reverse direction when a specific reverse voltage (Zener ...

A diode allows current to travel in only one direction. With that in mind, [Alex] built a mechanical diode that will only allow gear rotation in one direction to be transmitted through the system.

Diodes close diodeAn electrical device that allows current to flow in one direction only. are electronic components that can be used to regulate the voltage in circuits and to make logic gates.

The diode has a very high resistance in one direction. This means that current can only flow in the other direction. This is the graph of current against voltage for a diode. Normally a diode will ...

Researchers led by Prof. Cunlan Guo at Wuhan University have pioneered a new approach to control the electrical properties of ...

They inject power into a circuit and are capable of electrically controlling and amplifying the flow of electrical current ... and removing noise. Diode The diode is a two-terminal electronic ...

Then the diode was known as a "valve," because it forced current in the tube to travel exclusively in one direction. Getting that single directional flow was critical for radio sets which needed ...

superconducting diode—essentially, a switch that makes current flow in one direction—made out of thin cuprate crystals. Such a device could theoretically fuel fledging industries like quantum ...
