Electricity doesn’t just flow freely in every direction—it needs control. That control comes from a tiny but powerful component: the diode. In this video, you’ll learn how diodes work, why they allow ...

The diode is one of the most commonly adopted and simply made elementary component in semiconductor technology. It’s been the basic starting brick for the construction of all electronic technology, ...

Engineers have long known how to steer electricity in one direction, but heat has been far harder to tame. Now a new one-way thermal “diode” promises to give designers similar control over heat flow, ...
