Detailed explanation-1: -Researchers have developed the world’s smallest nanoscale diode or molecular rectifier that could impact the development of molecular electronic devices in future. The breakthrough was achieved by the researchers from the University of Georgia and Ben-Gurion University of the Negev (BGU).
Detailed explanation-2: -New device could help advance the field of molecular electronics. Scientists have now created what they say is the world’s smallest diode, one the size of a single (rather short) molecule of a DNA. This work could help spur development of DNA components for molecular electronics, its creators claim. Charles Q.
Detailed explanation-3: -Fleming patented the first true thermionic diode, the Fleming valve, in Britain on 16 November 1904 (followed by U.S. Patent 803, 684 in November 1905).
Detailed explanation-4: -In 1901, Jagadis Chandra Bose, a professor of physics in Calcutta, India, filed a U.S patent for a galena crystal point-contact semiconductor diode for detecting radio signals.
Detailed explanation-5: -Diodes were the first semiconductor electronic devices. The discovery of crystals’ rectifying abilities was made by German physicist Ferdinand Braun in 1874. The first semiconductor diodes, called cat’s whisker diodes were made of crystals of minerals such as galena.
