Thermal diodes, much like their electrical counterparts, provide unidirectional heat transfer, allowing heat to flow in one direction while blocking it in the reverse.

R 1 ‘s voltage drop limits the zener diode’s voltage value that the circuit measures. If R 1 ‘s value is 1Ω, then the voltage drop across it is insignificant and, in millivolts, is equal to the zener ...

Researchers have discovered the mechanism for supercurrent rectification, in which current flows primarily in one direction in a superconductor. By using a specific iron-based superconductor, they ...

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 ...
