This episode explores a special material called gallium nitride (GaN) that is not only a super-efficient semiconductor but is also changing the tech industry and is destined to disrupt the established silicon industry. GaN tech could save 10% of the electricity consumption in the US alone. And consumers can already purchase products using this high-tech material. To further explore this fascinating material, I interview the multi-award-winning professor Martin Kuball.
This episode will explain:
- What gallium nitride (GaN) is
- The properties that make this material extraordinary
- What advantages GaN has compared to silicon
- How GaN is disrupting the silicon industry
- What challenges there are when developing GaN devices
- The common misconceptions people have about GaN and what aspects are over-hyped
- What it really takes to go from research to groundbreaking innovation and how much effort goes into producing next-generation technologies
- How our future could look like once GaN and next generations batteries are widely deployed
- What types of skills researchers need in order to go from research to product
- And finally, the biggest surprises and breakthroughs my guest has had during his career as a scientist
