In this one molecule diode, the thiophene half of the molecule interacts with passing electrons more strongly than the thiazole half. If the thiophene (top) half is attached to a positive electrode, ...

Functioning at under several nanometers (a nanometer is a billionth of a meter), the molecular diode studied by the team of researchers acted as a rectifier (diode) because of the chemical ...

Discover the science behind diodes — the tiny components that control the flow of electricity. Learn how they let current pass in one direction, block it in the other, and power everything from ...

How Does A Diode Work? A diode essentially works like a valve within a circuit, controlling the direction of the flow of the electric current.
