A model of a quantum thermal diode based on a qubit and qutrit. The asymmetric design allows this system to behave as a thermal diode when connected between two thermal baths. Credit: APL Quantum ...

An international group of physicists has demonstrated that a very thin layer of quantum-mechanical material sandwiched between two pieces of superconductor can conduct electricity with or without ...

A Korean research team has successfully developed an ultra-miniature nano diode, measuring just one ten-thousandth the ...

Silicon has been the backbone of electronics for decades, but it has its limits—especially when it comes to energy efficiency. Now, a breakthrough from researchers at Nagoya University in Japan could ...
