The advanced semiconductor material gallium nitride will likely be key for the next generation of high-speed communication systems and the power electronics needed for state-of-the-art data centers.

For decades, chipmakers have squeezed more computing power out of silicon by shrinking transistors, but that strategy is running into hard physical limits. A new approach from MIT aims to sidestep ...

TL;DR: Researchers at Peking University developed a silicon-free transistor using bismuth oxyselenide, offering faster electron movement and full gate coverage around the source. This design promises ...

These days, we’re seeing Silicon being used less and less. Many new chargers on the market are ditching Silicon for Gallium-Nitride or GaN because it can keep the charging brick cooler, using less ...

Chinese boffins have emerged from their smoke-filled labs with a transistor that could outgun current US chip tech while guzzling less power. According to the South China Morning Post, the Chinese ...
