For the Component Abuse Challenge our hacker [Tim Williams] observes that N-P-N reads the same way forwards and backwards, so… what happens if we reverse bias one? (Note: this remark about N-P-N ...

The function of an LED is to emit light when the device is forward biased within its operating range, and it’s known by most people that an LED can also operate as a photodiode. Perhaps some readers ...

This video explains the function of diodes and how they are used to control the flow of electrical current in electronic circuits. Diodes are essential components that allow current to move in only ...

Solar energy is a crucial part of our clean energy future, but a new, highly efficient solar material has a hurdle that needs to be addressed. A recent study reveals how a microscopic weak spot can ...

Abstract: Hyperabrupt-junction varactor diodes, for which dopant concentration decreases with distance from the p-n junction, possess favorable characteristics in time-varying systems. These diodes ...

For decades, men, straight people and White people were often held to a higher legal standard when bringing workplace bias claims than groups that historically faced discrimination. No longer. The ...

Travis Gettys is a senior editor for Raw Story based in northern Kentucky. He previously worked as a web editor for WLWT-TV and a contributing writer for the Kentucky Enquirer, and he also wrote for ...

In this tutorial, we will study the behavior of a diode reverse-biased by a Dirac pulse, subsequently considering the special (and unpublished) case of a Zener diode. In this tutorial, we will study ...

Title VII of the 1964 Civil Rights Act prohibits employment discrimination when making decisions about discipline and discharge, according to U.S. Equal Employment Opportunity Commission guidance.

Miniature AlGaN-based diodes integrate light-emission and light-detection into a single device Applications in solar-blind comms, high-resolution imaging, biosensing, and environmental monitoring ...
