Small but fast Gallium Nitride chargers.
Basics of our chargers.
Chargers are one of the most important parts of our technological life. Our smartphones, laptops, and tablets all have a battery. The battery in our devices consists of two poles negative and positive. At the negative end, there are tons of free electrons and the positive end has less. All the electrons naturally want to flow from the negative to the positive end and along the way they powerup our devices. When all the electrons flow to the positive side our batteries die and then come charging. We use electricity to push electrons back on the negative side to repeat the cycle.
For a long time, silicon has been the main material for our chargers. Silicon conducted electricity better than the previously used materials like vacuum tubes and was not too expensive to produce. Over time silicon chargers have seen a lot of advancement and have the high performance we are used to. But silicon chargers might have reached the maximum potential of their advancement.

Gallium nitride to replace silicon.
Since the ’90s, Gallium Nitride(GaN) has been used to make LEDs. Gallium Nitride (GaN) is a crystal-like material that is capable of conducting higher voltages. One of the main aspects of GaN in a charger is that it produces less heat. Using GaN instead of silicon in the chargers means the transistors in a chip of our battery can be closely packed in a small frame. When we factor in all the aspects of the GaN in a charger we get a smaller compact charger that produces less heat and conduct higher voltages in quick time and is power efficient.

Why GaN chargers?
In a world where protecting the environment has been a major issue, having a small but powerful charger that produces less heat means a lot. First, it consumes less material to produce. It is compact and producing less heat means ensuring the long life of our devices like mobiles, laptops, and tablets.
In the starting of an era where smartphone manufacturers are removing chargers from their boxes to make their packaging compact for environmental concerns. Smartphone companies can realistically fit in a small compact but powerful 30-Watt charger in their impressively small mobile phone packaging. This also cancels all the knock-on effects for the consumers of not having a charger in the box.
So, coming to the dawn of the potential of a Silicon charger having a Gallium Nitride charger seems to be a better move for the consumers, manufacturers, and most importantly our environment.
