This is the last in a series of three articles on thermal diodes. The previous two articles of our 'thermal diode' series, How to Measure Temperature in Integrated Systems and The ‘Thermal Diode’…A ...

Many Linear Technology devices use an external PNP transistor to sense temperature. Common examples are LTC3880, LTC3883 and LTC2974. Accurate temperature sensing depends on proper PNP selection, ...

How an advanced material can become both p- and n-material based on temperature gradient. The process by which this material was discovered and enhanced. The possible applications of this device ...

For the first time, researchers in China have demonstrated a high-temperature superconducting diode effect, which allows a supercurrent to flow in both directions. Published in Nature Physics, the ...

Although they are usually limited to only two leads, rectifiers and diodes play an important role in power electronic systems. In 2011, many types of rectifier/diodes were introduced, from bridge ...
