A diode is a semiconductor device that allows electrical current to flow in one direction while blocking it in the other.

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, ...

The SiC MPS diodes from RIR Power Electronics Limited are silicon carbide merged-PiN Schottky devices rated up to 1200 V, combining Schottky and PiN structures to balance low switching losses with ...

The paper represents the electrical behaviour of a new Gallium Arsenide (GaAs) power Schottky Diode compared to the bipolar silicon diodes. The paper also introduces its electrical measurements ...

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 ...

Designing automotive electronics presents numerous technical challenges, including the need to protect against electrical hazards under the hood and in the cabin. The three major sources of electrical ...

Phones, electric vehicles, and other devices that run hot might soon have a powerful new tool keeping them cool. Engineers at the University of Houston have developed a novel thermal management ...
