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 ...

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 ...

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 ...

The diode is a fundamental component you must understand if you want to grow your electronics prowess. So today, we’re going to take a quick look at what a diode is, then look at 4½ uses for a diode ...

GE Global Research, the centralized research organization of the General Electric Co., has developed an ideal carbon nanotube diode that operates at the "theoretical limit," or best possible ...
