Just found out about this rather cool challenge that Google organised, the goal was to design a tiny power inverter with a density of at least 50 Watts per cubic inch.
The winners managed to beat the requirement approximately threefold (143 Watts per cubic inch) with their GaN based transistors:

Amazing achievement. Quite a few clever people on the team. I wonder how many GaN transistors they blew up during development!
