The word “ideal” is often used in introductory engineering classes as a starting point to describe a component. However, at some point in any actual project or design, reality sets in, as there’s no ...

A way to reach a rectification ratio thought a theoretical impossibility has been demonstrated by an international research team from the University of Central Florida (UCF), the University of ...

Researchers at Columbia University in New York say they have developed a technique that allows the creation of a single molecule diode. The team adds that its molecular diodes perform 50 times better ...

The effective control of heat transfer is of great significance to improve energy efficiency. Thermal diode is one of the key elements for heat flow controlling. Similar to the current rectification ...

In looking at any buck converter point-of-load regulator designed today, chances are that it uses synchronous rectification rather than a conventional diode for freewheeling Eric Persson, Executive ...

Systems requiring power conversion and level detection employ full-wave rectification, traditionally provided by a diode bridge, but diode bridges consume a significant amount of board space and ...

(Nanowerk News) You can feel it on your laptop and mobile phone. It’s behind your refrigerator and office copy machine. While heat is desirable for appliances like a coffee maker, it can jeopardize ...
