<ul><li>Scientists from the University of Glasgow have developed a new type of diamond transistor that can deliver high power and remain off by default.</li><li>Previous diamond transistors could either stay off well or deliver high power, but not both at the same time.</li><li>The new transistor requires 6 volts to turn on, twice the voltage of older diamond transistors, while still delivering a strong electrical current when needed.</li><li>Diamond transistors could be used in industries like power grids and electric vehicles, as diamond can handle high voltages better than silicon.</li></ul>
