How This Small Part Makes Electricity Flow the Right Way
Electricity doesn’t just flow freely in every direction—it needs control. That control comes from a tiny but powerful ...
A semiconductor-based laser used to generate analog signals or digital pulses for transmission through optical fibers. Both laser diodes and LEDs (light-emitting diodes) are used for this purpose, but ...
With superconducting diodes, scholars advance work toward ultra-efficient quantum electronic devices
PROVIDENCE, R.I. [Brown University] — Superconductors — materials that conduct electricity with zero loss of energy — have been well-understood since the development of what’s called the BCS theory in ...
One of the joys of writing up the entries for the 2025 Component Abuse Challenge has come in finding all the different alternative uses for the humble transistor. This building block of all modern ...
