2. Experimental setup of the bridging-droplet thermal diode. (a) Photograph of the wicked copper plate possessing an array of wetted micropillars of dimensions 100 × 100 × 600 μm.

Schematic of the molecular junction created using asymmetric area electrodes which functions as a diode, allowing current to flow in one direction only. Disclaimer: AAAS and EurekAlert! are not ...

Diodes close diode An electrical device that allows current to flow in one direction only. are electronic components that can be used to regulate the voltage in circuits and to make logic gates.
