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 ...

When we use an electronic component, we have some idea of what goes on inside it. We know that inside a transistor there’s a little piece of semiconductor with a junction made from differently doped ...

The diode showed no resistance in the forward direction, normal resistance in the backward direction, and it worked with zero applied magnetic field. The research to date has been done at extremely ...

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

The four-layer diode was the key to William Shockley's plan to revolutionize AT&T's phone system. It was a great device in theory, but not in practice -- at least not at the time when Shockley wanted ...

UNSW researchers have developed an intrinsic-adjusted single-diode model that explicitly accounts for radiative and Auger ...

The U.S. laser diode market was valued at USD 2.75 billion in 2025 and is projected to grow at a 12.7% CAGR, reaching USD 9.09 billion by 2035. Expansion is driven by rising adoption across consumer ...
