The history of the diode is a fun one as it’s rife with accidental discoveries, sometimes having to wait decades for a use for what was found. Two examples of that are our first two topics: t… ...

The diode was created from a specially designed piece of a single, duplex DNA. The strand was an 11 base pair piece of DNA that was connected to a nanoscale electronic circuit. In early trials ...

Organic laser diodes produce a much purer light enabling additional applications, but they require currents that are magnitudes higher than those used in OLEDs to achieve the lasing process.

In this way, one fibre could be used to measure the temperature at several different places in an experiment. The challenge, according to Swartz, is how to package the gratings so that the fibres are ...
