Electronics technicians are more likely to use the diode and capacitance tests than electricians or homeowners. But if you have a meter with these functions, it helps to know what the symbols mean.

1. The circuit symbol for a diode, with the anode on the left and the cathode on the right. Conceptually, diodes are quite simple. But, they’re extremely useful because of their V-I curve, shown ...

Diodes, one-way current conductors, are used for voltage regulation, AC/DC conversion, and circuit protection. Forward-biased at 0.6V, conduct current, reverse bias blocks it.

Researchers at Harvard University recently observed an antiferromagnetic diode effect in even-layered MnBi 2 Te 4, an antiferromagnetic material characterized by a centrosymmetric crystal that ...
