- 1India develops gallium nitride chip far faster than silicon●India just built a chip that runs 300 times faster than the silicon in most electronics. It's smaller than a fingernail.
India's Defence Research and Development Organisation says its Solid State Physics Laboratory has indigenously developed gallium nitride semiconductor chips, smaller than a fingernail, that can run around 300 times faster than the silicon used in most electronics. The chips are intended for next-generation radar and electronic warfare systems, marking a step toward homegrown advanced defence technology.
- 2US Army selects Navitas for American-made high-voltage chips▼US Army picks Navitas Semiconductor to build American-made high-voltage chips
The US Army has chosen Navitas Semiconductor, a US-based gallium nitride power chip maker, to build high-voltage semiconductors domestically. The move supports Washington's push to secure critical chip supply chains for defence applications and reduce reliance on foreign manufacturing. Details on contract size and timeline have not been disclosed.
