Although its name may make many people think of flowers, the element germanium is part of a frequently studied group of elements, called IVa, which could have applications for next-generation computer ...

In his later years, when he looked back on his career as a pioneer of transistor technology, Gordon Teal would realize it all happened because of germanium. He first encountered the element as a ...

Researchers at MIT have demonstrated the first laser that uses the element germanium. The laser, which operates at room temperature, could prove to be an important step toward computer chips that move ...

The chemical composition of MSU-Ge-1 was determined with elemental C,H,N and energy-dispersive microprobe analysis. The analysis confirmed the presence of Ge only and the absence of any Mg or halide ...
