A diode allows current to travel in only one direction. With that in mind, [Alex] built a mechanical diode that will only allow gear rotation in one direction to be transmitted through the system.

Researchers at the University of Tokyo have demonstrated that the direction of the spin-polarized current can be restricted ...

A team of researchers has made a remarkable breakthrough in spintronic technology, achieving a one-directional flow of ...

Researchers Ibuki Taniuchi, Ryota Akiyama, Rei Hobara, and Shuji Hasegawa of the University of Tokyo have demonstrated that ...

Diode The diode is a two-terminal electronic component that allows an electric current to pass in one direction (low resistance) while blocking it in the reverse direction (high resistance). The diode ...

but the unusual property comes in that a flame can be made to conduct in only one direction. In other words, it can become a diode of sorts, in a manner reminiscent of a vacuum tube diode.

Thermal diodes, much like their electrical counterparts, provide unidirectional heat transfer, allowing heat to flow in one direction while blocking it in the reverse. We find this capability ...

Diodes close diodeAn electrical device that allows current to flow in one direction only. are electronic components that can be used to regulate the voltage in circuits and to make logic gates.

The diode has a very high resistance in one direction. This means that current can only flow in the other direction. This is the graph of current against voltage for a diode. Normally a diode will ...

Diodes are fundamental building blocks of modern electronics by restricting the flow of currents to only one direction. However, the thinner the device the more complicated it becomes to design ...
