SiC is poised for significant growth, driven by its advantageous properties and emerging applications: Blue light comprises high-energy photons; gallium nitride, with its wide bandgap, was the first semiconductor that could basically produce photons with the ample energy. In 2014, three researchers were being awarded the Nobel Prize in Physics https://www.quora.com/profile/Trevor-Flatcher-2/Advantages-and-Challenges-of-Silicon-Carbide-Specialty-Ceramics-Macrocosm-Materials-Company-Overview-Founded-in-2016
