Part 2/7:
Semiconductors bear a unique quality: they sit between conductors like copper and insulators such as glass. This able flexibility allows for a range of applications. Currently, silicon dominates the semiconductor landscape; however, gallium nitride is poised to challenge its reign.
GaN, a more effective semiconductor, has the potential to drastically reduce the size of electronic devices. Imagine a future where your laptop charger is simply a cable plugged directly into the outlet—this vision is becoming increasingly realistic with GaN’s integration into common electronics.
