Thermodynamics revisited: Study solves 120-year-old problem and corrects one of Einstein's ideas by University of Seville edited by Lisa Lock, reviewed by Robert Egan Editors' notes ...

Researchers from The University of Osaka have discovered the mechanism for supercurrent rectification, in which current flows primarily in one direction in a superconductor. By using a specific ...

A mathematician has uncovered a way of answering some of algebra's oldest problems. University of New South Wales Honorary Professor Norman Wildberger, has revealed a potentially game-changing ...

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 ...

Diodes have problems that are harder to ignore, such as the forward voltage drop. So, while a real diode will only pass current in one direction, it will also drop some of the voltage.

The Riemann hypothesis is the most important open question in number theory—if not all of mathematics. It has occupied experts for more than 160 years. And the problem appeared both in ...

Zener diode is commonly employed in applications as voltage regulator, regulating the voltage output to the Zener voltage Vz ...

Nonlinearly loaded multiport structures have promising features for the application of controlling scattered fields. Modelling such structures can lead to investigations up to hundreds or even ...

The power diode is one of the most used components and one of the first devices to be discovered in electronics. Its functionality is to make the electric current pass only in one direction, ...
