A research group has discovered significant nonreciprocal optical absorption of LiNiPO4, referred to as the optical diode effect, in which divalent nickel (Ni2+) ions are responsible for magnetism, by ...

PN junction diodes are the underpinning of modern optoelectronic systems. But, typically, they perform only a single task. To ...

Scientists have reviewed the superconducting diode effect, a quantum effect enabling dissipationless supercurrent to flow in only one direction. The SDE provides new functionalities for ...

In a study published in Nature Electronics, a research team led by Prof. SUN Haiding from the University of Science and Technology of China of the Chinese Academy of Sciences, along with the ...

Think about how easily you recognize a friend in a dimly lit room. Your eyes capture light, while your brain filters out ...

In an optical diode, the light input in one direction is transmitted while the light input in the opposite direction is blocked. The new optical diode is made from parity-time (PT) symmetric ...

For the first time, researchers in China have demonstrated a high-temperature superconducting diode effect, which allows a supercurrent to flow in both directions. Published in Nature Physics, the ...
