(Hint: more is better.) And then it’s off to build. The end result is a very simple unregulated power supply — just a diode bridge with some capacitors on the output — but by using really ...

It’s easy enough to plop in a diode for protection, but as [Afroman] points out, that wastes power in the form of heat when the circuit is working correctly. His solution is to add a P channel ...

A semiconductor diode is a non-linear device whose most outstanding feature is the fact that, basically, current is only allowed to flow in one direction. The diode is built by joining together two ...

Rectifiers receive an alternating current (AC) with an average value of zero volts and supply a direct current (DC), single polarity signal with a net value greater than zero volts, a process ...

A 700-foot span across a deep canyon gorge.

Most modern electronic devices consist of several key components: transistors, capacitors, resistors, inductors and diodes. Often, they are supplemented by additional components like crystals and ...

Researchers at Harvard University recently observed an antiferromagnetic diode effect in even-layered MnBi 2 Te 4, an antiferromagnetic material characterized by a centrosymmetric crystal that ...

A TPV system generally consists of a thermal emitter that can reach high temperatures, near or beyond 1,000 C, and a photovoltaic diode cell that ... issues in air-bridge TPV cells, which we ...

To pursue bridge-building and embody it with the depth required to make real change, against serious headwinds, bridge-builders need the will to cross lines of difference and the skill to do it well.

Baltimore — The families of three of the six immigrant construction workers who died when the Francis Scott Key Bridge collapsed will ask a federal court to prevent the owner of the ship that ...

The filament lamp is a common type of light bulb. It contains a thin coil of wire called the filament. This heats up when an electric current passes through it and produces light as a result.
