Indeed, in the original communication of its discovery to the French Academy, it was described as a new liquid metal, similar to mercury; but on touching with a fragment of solid gallium a portion ...

a metal called Gallium is widely available online. It's melting point is about 85 degrees, so with just a little heat, you can turn it from a solid, crystal-like state into a fun, reflective pile ...

But these calls weren’t about rare earths. They were about something considerably rarer: the metal gallium. Neo recycles a few dozen tons of high-purity gallium a year, mostly from semiconductor ...

Environmental systems scientist at the University of Delaware. Gallium metal has the unusual property of melting at room temperature and is often used as a curiosity prop in chemistry exhibitions.

A joint computational and experimental study has examined how adding certain dopants to a solid electrolyte could improve its ...

Since the early 1970s, scientists have been promoting gallium arsenide as a faster, more efficient substrate material than silicon for making integrated-circuit chips. However, the vast majority of ...

In a recent study published in ACS Materials Letters, a team led by researchers at the United States Department of Energy's ...

Gallium, ranked by the United States as the #1 critical mineral by supply risk 1, highlighted by China's recent export ban of gallium, (China accounts for 98.8% of the world's supply of refined ...

This publication provides a comprehensive overview of the technologies involved in the direct production of gallium-68. It serves as a specific guide for the production and quality control of metal ...

As great as silicon is for semiconductor applications, it has one weakness in that using it for lasers isn’t very practical. Never say never though, as it turns out that you can now grow ...
