[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.

[roelh] has built a flip-flop circuit using only one transistor and some ... The weirdest, by far, is [Ted Yapo]’s Diode Clock, a digital clock made with diode-diode logic.

If you have an analog VOM, you may be surprised how high the short circuit current is on the Rx1 range. Mine runs 120mA. Note that this is sufficient current to destroy a sensitive germanium ...

In 2023, about 4.4% (176 terawatt-hours) of total energy consumption in the United States was by data centers that are ...

This differs from the circuit shown in Figure 1 by not only the value of the limiting R but also the 2.2kΩ protects from voltages above +Vs. This is an example of the intricacies that must be fully ...

This file type includes high resolution graphics and schematics. Front-end limiter circuits using Schottky and PIN diodes can provide needed protection in communications and other RF systems.

It is made by adding a potential step, which emulates a semiconductor junction (the boundary between p-type and n-type solid-state materials), to an energetically-flat optical lattice Atomtronic ...

Innovations such as quantum thermal diodes, capable of directing heat flow ... behavior can be effectively captured and explained using a simplified, yet powerful equivalent model composed of ...
