We’re all familiar with semiconductor diodes, whose function is to allow electricity to easily flow in one direction and impede its progress in the other. A thermal diode performs a similar gating ...

(Nanowerk News) One speaks of a superconducting diode effect when a material behaves like a superconductor in one direction of current flow and like a resistor in the other. In contrast to a ...

Superconductors are the key to lossless current flow. However, the realization of superconducting diodes has only recently become an important topic of fundamental research. An international research ...

PROVIDENCE, R.I. [Brown University] — Superconductors — materials that conduct electricity with zero loss of energy — have been well-understood since the development of what’s called the BCS theory in ...
