This may not appear sexy but this is a huge deal. Power semiconductors are critical for most NatSec and industrial usecases.
You can likely live without a new gaming rig. You likely cannot live without replaceable parts for trucks and cars.

Now SiC MOSFETs are the most efficient devices for the power converters used in electric vehicles, where DC voltages of 800 V or 1000 V are used in the latest models, which require, respectively, 1200 V or 1400 V SiC MOSFETs.
GaN HEMTs (high-electron-mobility transistors) are the most efficient devices for the power supplies that are fed from mains electricity, where 650 V GaN devices are used for the universal power supplies, which must accept up to 240 V AC on input.
Wooooo let's go back to 1827 for a moment and have a chat with Anyos Jedlik. Or maybe Andres Flocken in 1881. Let's see how they did electric vehicles.
Oh, lookie there, no SiC.
