One of the graduate students, Seymour Benzer, accidentally discovered that a crystal of germanium -- a semiconductor which was not well understood at the time -- could withstand higher voltage ...

According to the USGS, gallium prices could increase by more than 150% and germanium prices by 26% in the event of a total ...

U.S. faces $3.4 billion loss from China's export ban on gallium and germanium, critical for semiconductors amid escalating ...

But they have a rich history, going back through the silicon era to germanium junction transistors, and thence to the original devices. if you’ve ever looked at the symbol for a transistor and ...

Germanium is a semiconductor in group IVA of the periodic table. It has an atomic number of 32, an atomic weight of 72.59, and a density of 5.32 Mg/m 3. Its melting temperature is 937.4 C. Germanium ...

[Doug’s] rendition uses the warm sounds of germanium transistors in a design that produces professional results. But if you need something a little bit less serious try the stomp-box.

Scientists in Australia are exploring the possibility of extracting gallium and germanium as byproducts of mining operations. Both materials are used in semiconductor manufacturing but have been ...

German scientists have fabricated an enhanced amorphous germanium PV cell that confines light in an ultra-thin absorber. It has the potential to combine PV with photosynthesis in new solar ...

(SiGe) A semiconductor material made from silicon and germanium. Germanium is very similar to silicon, but when one layer is grown on top of the other to form the base of the transistor ...

A group of researchers led by Malaysia's Universiti Malaysia Perlis has designed a mixed cation perovskite solar cell based on a perovskite absorber integrating tin (Sn) and germanium (Ge ...
