A physicist has made the best ever p-n junction diode from a carbon nanotube. The current-voltage characteristics of the device exhibit an "ideality factor" of one, which is the maximum possible value ...

This year's Nobel Prize in physics goes to researchers whose findings you probably rely on just about every day (or, if you're like me, just about every minute). The blue light-emitting diodes ...

This Review Article provides an overview of chaos in laser diodes by surveying experimental achievements in the area and explaining the theory behind the phenomenon. The fundamental physics ...

The occasion was the awarding of the Nobel Prize for physics for that year, for an achievement that paved the way for light-emitting diodes (LEDs) to succeed the incandescent bulbs and fluorescent ...

A trio of scientists, two from Japan and one from the U.S., will share the Nobel Prize in physics for the invention of blue light-emitting diodes (LEDs), which led to a new, environmentally ...

In an article published in Communications Physics, a multi-institutional research team led by The University of Osaka announces the successful observation of the so-called superconducting diode ...
