With that in mind, [Alex] built a mechanical diode that will only allow gear rotation in one direction to be transmitted through the system. But wait, by connecting two of these devices together ...

They have none of the special skills you’d find in tunnel, Gunn, varicap, Zener, and avalanche diodes, or even LEDs, instead they are simply a one-way valve for electrical current. Connect ...

The four-layer diode, therefore, could be used to replace both the rectifiers and transistors necessary to connect long distance phone calls. In essence, the four-layer diode was the first ...

For hard-switched power topologies, Infineon is planning a 100V GaN transistors with a integrated Schottky diode. "Due to the ...
