The effective control of heat transfer is important in improving energy efficiency. The thermal diode is one of the key elements of heat flow control. Like the current rectification effect found in ...

IXYS UK Westcode recently introduced the addition of three new voltage classes to its range of 83 mm die, pressure contact rectifier diodes. The rectifier diodes with voltage rating at 1.5 kV, 4.0 kV, ...

Biological ion channels rely on ions as charge carriers and unidirectional ion flow to produce and transmit signals. To realize artificial biological inspired circuitry and seamless human-machine ...

In the realm of modern electronics, semiconductor diodes have emerged as fundamental components with diverse applications. One of their pivotal roles lies in the fields of rectification and voltage ...

A major cause of losses in a conventional power supply using a 50/60-Hz transformer is the bridge rectifier. This article shows how to build a “greener” rectifier, substantially reducing losses by ...

The word “ideal” is often used in introductory engineering classes as a starting point to describe a component. However, at some point in any actual project or design, reality sets in, as there’s no ...

The effective control of heat transfer is of great significance to improve energy efficiency. Thermal diode is one of the key elements for heat flow controlling. Similar to the current rectification ...
