Gao, who spoke at TechCrunch’s All Stage conference in July, said it’s possible for startup founders, especially those in later Series C stage, to navigate this particular economic environment.

Ferroelectric Helps Break Transistor Limits

news.ycombinator.com Katherine Bourzac 2025-12-16 03:39:50

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.

Five years after Apple stops selling a product, it may become ‘vintage’, meaning Apple will still repair it. Five years after that, it can become ‘obsolete,’ and Apple no longer offers hardware service or parts. Today’s that day for the Apple Watch Series 1.
