In the puzzle of climate change, the Earth’s oceans are an immense and crucial piece. The oceans act as an enormous reservoir of both heat and carbon dioxide, the most abundant greenhouse gas. But gathering accurate and sufficient data about the oceans to feed climate and weather models has been a huge technical challenge.

Can advanced semiconductors cut emissions of greenhouse gases enough to make a difference in the struggle to halt climate change? Such a change is actually well underway. What this means in practice is that, in comparison with Si or SiC, less charge has to flow into the device to switch it on or off.
