A diode is a two-terminal electronic component with an asymmetric transfer characteristic, with low resistance to current flow in one direction, and high resistance in the other. A diode vacuum tube or thermionic diode is a vacuum tube with two electrodes, a heated cathode, and a plate, in which electrons can flow in only one… Read More

Axon is a type of cell in the nervous system that transmits electrical signals between neurons. These signals are sent from the body to the brain, and then from the brain to other parts of the body. Axons are important for communication between different areas of the nervous system, and they also play a role… Read More

The word “electron” was coined in 1894 by Irish physicist George Johnstone Stoney (1826–1911). He suggested that electrons were components of atoms and proposed the name “corpuscle” for them. In 1897, English physicist J. J. Thomson (1856–1940) discovered electrons in cathode ray experiments and proposed that they were parts of atoms as well. Electrons are… Read More
