The superconducting diode effect allows for nonreciprocal, dissipationless transport. It has the potential to enhance transfer current efficiency compared to the traditional semiconducting equivalent ...

A team of researchers led by the University of Pittsburgh demonstrated a programmable superconducting diode at the ...

We might tend to take the word “diode” for granted if we’re thinking of a “diode” as just a two-lead or two-terminal device that gets used in this or that place for this or that purpose. It can become ...

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 ...

Humans are walking high voltage generators, due to all the friction with our surroundings, wide variety of synthetic clothes, and the overall ever-present static charges. Our electronics are sensitive ...
