Paper-thin gallium oxide transistor handles more than 8,000 volts. Electrical engineers created a gallium oxide-based transistor that can handle more than 8,000 volts. The transistor could lead to smaller and more efficient electronic systems that control and convert electric power -- a field of study known as power electronics -- in electric cars, locomotives and airplanes. In turn, this could help improve how far these vehicles can travel. Source 7j.
That is amazing. We can do so many things that make us stand out in the universe and yet we cannot get our [..] right. My one question about this new transition… how does it handle that load over time. The thinness leads me to believe that it will die faster than regular size transistors.
