Air flow across the sensor diode then results in a voltage difference between the two ends of the meter causing it to deflect. The marked (*) 1N4148 diode should be exposed to the same air as the ...

Thermal diodes, much like their electrical counterparts, provide unidirectional heat transfer, allowing heat to flow in one ...

2. Experimental setup of the bridging-droplet thermal diode. (a) Photograph of the wicked copper plate possessing an array of wetted micropillars of dimensions 100 × 100 × 600 μm.

Data diodes are a humble-looking piece of tech, but they are much more important than their appearance might convey. Slowly ...

Thermal diode is one of the key elements for heat flow controlling. Similar to the current rectification effect of electronic diodes, heat flow is easily directed through one direction in a ...

A superconducting diode effect was observed in an Fe(Se,Te)/FeTe heterostructure, enabling current to preferentially flow in one direction under varying temperatures and magnetic fields.

Analogues of the resistors, capacitors and diodes of an electronic circuit could eliminate the need for bulky external pumps to control the flow of liquids in a microfluidic circuit.

A model of a quantum thermal diode based on a qubit and qutrit. The asymmetric design allows this system to behave as a thermal diode when connected between two thermal baths. Credit: APL Quantum ...
