Clearly any circuitry that could reduce reliance on them was of great interest. The diode OR gate. Thingmaker [CC BY-SA 4.0], via Wikimedia Commons. To the rescue of those 1950s designers came the ...

An ideal-diode controller with quick gate turn-on and turn-off time is important to achieving active rectification of a 6-V, 30-kHz peak-to-peak ac input voltage during the E-06 test and meeting ...

They can be used to mimic the function of switches, logic gates, or diodes, raising the possibility of a sound "computer." A "metamaterial" is technically defined as any material whose microscopic ...
