A special type of diode made from a crystalline material whose layers are just three atoms thick has been successfully realized for the first time. The superior properties of such ultra-thin crystals ...

Researchers at Ohio State University have discovered a way to make quantum devices using technology common to the chip-making industry today. The team fabricated a device called a tunneling diode ...

Diodes allow directed flows of current. Without them, modern electronics would be inconceivable. Until now, they had to be made out of two materials with different characteristics. A research team has ...

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

The first ever “optical” diodes made from the 2D material Ti 3 C 2 and fullerene (or carbon-60) retain their saturable absorption (or increased light transmission at higher laser powers) even after ...

As electronic devices become ever more complex, and the densities of components in those devices increases exponentially, we are rapidly approaching the day when the limitations of Moore's Law will be ...

[Hales] has been on a mission for a while to make his own diodes and put them to use and now he’s succeeded with diodes made of sodium bicarbonate and water, aluminum tape and soldered copper. By ...
