Heat is the enemy of performance, especially in high-power electronics 🔥 Our latest research explores a key barrier in GaN-on-diamond devices: thermal boundary resistance (TBR), a hidden bottleneck in heat dissipation. By introducing interfacial nanopatterning and optimizing the dielectric layer, we significantly reduced TBR and unlocked new levels of thermal efficiency. Why it matters: Better heat transfer = faster, more reliable electronics 🚀 Proud of the team for pushing the limits of materials science.

Our Diamond Cooling technology sits directly on top of the hot spot in our servers. Thanks to diamond's incredible thermal conductivity, it quickly spreads out the heat, bringing down the overall temperature of the server. That means fans, liquid cooling, and other cooling systems don’t have to work as hard. Power consumption by the cooling systems can drop by up to 90%, putting real savings straight back in the operator’s pocket. Or, operators can decide to overclock their servers. Felix Ejeckam goes into detail about this in David Weisburd's podcast, How I Invest. Interested in learning more? Check out the whole episode 👇 https://lnkd.in/gmDCE3Ze

Akash Systems is attending NVIDIA GTC this week! Our Diamond Cooled servers are helping reshape the future of AI, and we're excited to be surrounded by innovators doing the same. If you’re here and want to connect, feel free to reach out!

Felix Ejeckam, co-founder and CEO of Akash Systems, has been working on Diamond Cooling for over a decade. Starting in the 90s, he set out to solve a major challenge: merging radically different materials like silicon and gallium arsenide. By 2003, his research led him to the potential of Gallium Nitride (GaN) on Diamond—the most thermally conductive material known. Thus began the creation of Diamond Cooling. It is changing the way we cool electronics —powering servers, space satellite radios, and more with unmatched efficiency and sustainability. What started as an ambitious idea is now revolutionizing thermal management and shaping the future of high-performance technology.

The fastest satellite radios in the world blasted off into space! Powered by Diamond-Cooled technology, our cutting-edge satellite radio is now orbiting Earth, pushing the limits of speed and efficiency in space. Learn more about our radios https://lnkd.in/gD5TKtkH

On January 14, 2025, Akash Systems made history. Our Diamond-Cooled Satellite Radio, one of the fastest satellite radios in the world, officially achieved space heritage 🚀✨ This groundbreaking technology launched into Low Earth Orbit (LEO) aboard a mission with our incredible partner, Pixxel, marking a monumental step forward in the evolution of satellite communications and Earth observation. Why is this so significant? Our Diamond-Cooled technology allows satellites to operate at peak efficiency, reducing heat and increasing reliability in the harshest environment imaginable—space. This milestone validates our innovative approach and opens the door to next-generation satellite systems capable of delivering unprecedented performance and sustainability. We’re proud to play a role in shaping the future of space exploration and technology. This is just the beginning! 🚀 Learn more 👉 https://lnkd.in/gTZQKb8t
