  GaN Semiconductors Gallium Nitride: A Breakthrough Material Gallium nitride (GaN) is a compound semiconductor that has several advantages over traditional semiconductors like silicon or gallium arsenide. GaN has a wider bandgap which allows it to operate at higher voltages, frequencies, and temperatures. This makes it well-suited for applications requiring efficient power switching like LED lighting, mobile device charging, and electric vehicle power electronics. GaN's wider bandgap also leads to lower power losses when switched on and off at high frequencies. With devices based on GaN, systems can operate more efficiently and generate less waste heat. This allows for more compact power conversion designs with longer lifetimes and reliability. The material properties of GaN Semiconductor unlock new possibilities across many industries. Advantages in Power Electronics and Wireless Charging One major area where GaN is enabling innovation is in power conversion for applicati...

  Metamaterials Origins of Metamaterials   Metamaterials are artificially engineered materials that are able to manipulate electromagnetic waves in extraordinary ways that are not found in nature. Rather than using the properties of the basic constituents of the material, metamaterials derive their properties from their artificially designed internal structure. This allows them to exhibit properties and phenomena that cannot be achieved with conventional optical materials. The field of metamaterials was pioneered in the late 1960s through the theoretical work of Russian physicist Victor Veselago. However, it was not until the late 1990s and early 2000s that experimentalists were finally able to fabricate practical Metamaterials structures, opening up opportunities for novel applications. Negative Refraction and Invisibility Cloaking One of the most exciting predictions of Veselago’s theory was that a material with negative permeability and permittivity would bend waves ...
