Ferroelectric Helps Break Transistor Limits

news.ycombinator.com Katherine Bourzac 2025-12-06 15:39:50

Integrating an electronic material that exhibits a strange property called negative capacitance can help high-power gallium nitride transistors break through a performance barrier, say scientists in California. Research published in Science suggests that negative capacitance helps sidestep a physical limit that typically enforces trade-offs between how well a transistor performs in the “on” state versus how well it does in the “off” state.

Is Ferrari a car company? The obvious answer is yes, but not according to its CEO, Benedetto Vigna, who recently described the company’s business model saying, “We are not – we are not – a car company. We are a luxury company that is also doing cars.” That’s their differentiator. Their brand. Their “schtick.” And, it works, but not because it’s a marketing ploy. It works because Ferrari backs it up with its actions. How so? By adhering to its founder Enzo Ferrari’s “scarcity dictum” that de
