IIRC, a zener diode behaves like a regular diode (i.e. it basically allows current to pass in one direction, but not the other), but its reverse breakdown voltage is much, much lower than a regular ...

The history of the diode is a fun one as it’s rife with accidental discoveries, sometimes having to wait decades for a use for what was found. Two examples of that are our first two topics: thermionic ...

Abstract: In the last decade, digital real-time emulators of power converters have replaced their analog counterparts, paving the way to the rapid prototyping of the controller. One of the main ...

Researchers at the Norwegian University of Science and Technology succeeded in creating light-emitting diodes, or LEDs, on a graphene surface. According to a brief that explains their research, ...

The filament lamp is a common type of light bulb. It contains a thin coil of wire called the filament. This heats up when an electric current passes through it and produces light as a result. Taking ...

When a supersonic aircraft goes faster than the speed of sound, it produces a shockwave or sonic boom. MIT researchers have found a similar optical effect in graphene that causes an optical boom and ...
