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, ...

A diode is a device that allows electric current to flow in only one direction, from its anode towards its cathode but not the other way around. There is plenty of online material explaining diode ...

This course is primarily aimed at first year graduate students interested in engineering or science, along with professionals with an interest in power electronics and semiconductor devices . It is ...

How a Virginia Tech research team constructed its novel thermal diode. Test results of the thermal diode. Electrical engineers are obviously very familiar and comfortable with the basic diode, a ...

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 ...

You will learn about semiconductor light-emitting diodes (LEDs) and lasers, and the important rules for their analysis, planning, design, and implementation. You will also apply your knowledge through ...

Claimed to be the first-ever “magnetic field diode”, a device in which one wire coil can transfer its magnetic field to a second coil, but not the other way around has been created by Jordi Prat-Camps ...
