Gallium Nitride is a remarkable material.

Dr. Umesh Mishra - a UC Santa Barbara professor and pioneer in GaN transistors and LEDs - said at a retrospective of the WBGS-RF program (what that is, we will talk about later):

“Gallium nitride actually is kind of God’s gift to mankind ... [It] just kept cooperating and cooperating and you’re like, ‘Why is this material working?’”

GaN’s physical problems are legendary. Despite those problems, this grumpy material has changed the worlds of light, radio, and power. That’s kind of interesting. In today’s video, Gallium Nitride’s journey from a technical flop to a bringer of light to the gates of power.
