The diode is one of the oldest semiconductor devices that date back to the late nineteenth century. Before solid-state semiconducting diodes, vacuum diodes held the utmost significance. This article explains the diode and its working, applications, and testing in detail. It lists types of diodes and tries to give you an idea about them in brief.

A thorough analysis of market and supply chain outcomes for sodium-ion batteries and their lithium-ion competitors is the first by STEER, a new Stanford and SLAC energy technology analysis program.

Electrical resistance and internal resistance both influence the functionality of electrical systems but serve different roles. Both types of resistance impact circuit behavior, energy efficiency, and performance.

Internal resistance in batteries reduces efficiency and lifespan by causing voltage drops and heat generation. It is influenced by factors like temperature, charge cycles, and manufacturing quality.

Wolfspeed, Inc., a global player in the silicon carbide technology, has introduced its new Gen 4 technology platform, which enables design rooted in durability and efficiency, all while reducing system cost and development time.

The semiconductor industry is expected to start 18 new fab construction projects in 2025*, according to SEMI's latest quarterly World Fab Forecast report. The new projects include three 200mm and fifteen 300mm facilities, the majority of which are expected to begin operations from 2026 to 2027.

The Fraunhofer Institute for Reliability and Microintegration IZM announces its active contribution to the APECS pilot line launched as part of the EU Chips Acts. APECS intends to promote the development and integration of chiplet technologies as a means of making Europe’s semiconductor industry more competitive.

Nexperia has introduced a new series of step-down DC-DC converters featuring devices with outstanding stand-by and operating efficiency that offer engineers even greater flexibility for designing various fixed and portable battery-powered applications across consumer, industrial and automotive end-markets.

JinkoSolar Holding Co., Ltd., a global player for solar modules, has announced that it achieved a significant breakthrough in the development of its N-type TOPCon-based perovskite tandem solar cell.

Southeast Asian countries can meet their growing energy demand with renewables and cut 75 % of their energy-related CO2 emissions by 2050, half of the emissions compared to today. Towards a regional energy transition shows that almost doubling renewable power by 2030 creates significant regional business and investment opportunities.
