a. Nanoscale diode
b. World’s smallest diode
c. Both a and b
d. Neither a nor b

ANSWER: Both a and b
 
Researchers from the University of Georgia and Ben-Gurion University of the Negev (BGU) developed the world's smallest diode, the size of a single molecule.
  • The breakthrough could impact the development of molecular electronic devices.
  • Study was published in journal Nature Chemistry on 4 April 2016.
  • The nanoscale diode or molecular rectifier operates like a valve to facilitate electronic current flow in a single direction.
