Tyndall Helps Create Adaptive 6G Microchip

Tyndall National Institute researchers, with international partners, developed a programmable millimetre-wave microchip that integrates hBN switches on GaN circuits, enabling continuous adaptation with minimal standby power. Published in Nature, it was demonstrated in key RF components, supporting flexible, energy-efficient 6G satellite and terrestrial networks. The RF tech market is expected to reach nearly €70bn by 2030.
