A plastic bag, a dirty pizza box, plastic utensils, paper napkins, and a soda can—a single takeout meal can feel like a game of recycling trivia. Which items can be recycled? What kinds of plastic go ...

Known as the Chigubhu lantern, a Shona name for a bottle, this portable light was made using recycled materials by a ...

A process developed at ETH Zurich enables the massive miniaturisation of organic light-emitting diodes (OLEDs) in only one single step. The light sources are now smaller than the wavelength of the ...

Revenue increased by 12% year over year and 7% sequentially, driven by strong demand in the computing market, particularly for AI-related applications. Channel inventory levels are healthy, with a ...

We might tend to take the word “diode” for granted if we’re thinking of a “diode” as just a two-lead or two-terminal device that gets used in this or that place for this or that purpose. It can become ...

Researchers have discovered the mechanism for supercurrent rectification, in which current flows primarily in one direction in a superconductor. By using a specific iron-based superconductor, they ...

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 ...

The local tech has gone missing, and the only other solution is to walk back to Zalyssia. During a certain point in the story, Diode will go missing from his usual spot in the Slag Heap of the Garbage ...

[Julian] knows that real diodes you can buy don’t work exactly like we say they do. That’s actually pretty common. We routinely ignore things like wire resistance and source resistance in batteries.

Many hobbies seem to have a subset of participants who just can’t leave well enough alone. Think about hot rodders, who squeeze every bit of power out of engines they can, or PC overclockers, who ...

The superconducting diode effect allows for nonreciprocal, dissipationless transport. It has the potential to enhance transfer current efficiency compared to the traditional semiconducting equivalent ...

Jan Dell is a former chemical engineer who has spent years telling an inconvenient truth about plastics. "So many people, they see the recyclable label, and they put it in the recycle bin," she said. ...
