Engineers have long known how to steer electricity in one direction, but heat has been far harder to tame. Now a new one-way thermal “diode” promises to give designers similar control over heat flow, ...

This video explains how diodes function as directional components in electronic circuits. Diodes allow current to flow in only one direction, making them essential for tasks like rectification, ...

New thermal diode technology could steer heat one way, preventing overheating and prolonging battery life in phones and other ...

University of Houston researchers have developed a new way to make heat flow in ...
