Electrical engineers have cleared another hurdle in high-power semiconductor fabrication by adding the field's hottest material -- beta-gallium oxide -- to their arsenal. Beta-gallium oxide is readily ...

Over on ScienceDaily we learn that an international team of scientists have turned a common semiconductor germanium into a superconductor. Researchers have been able to make the semiconductor ...

From the heart of Silicon Valley comes a new buzzword. Gallium nitride is the future of power technology. Tech blogs are touting gallium nitride as the silicon of the future, and you are savvy enough ...

Vermont's Gallium-Nitride Tech Hub received $3.4 million to establish a cutting-edge microelectronics testing laboratory. The lab, slated to open in January 2026, will focus on gallium nitride (GaN) ...

Gallium is a metal with an extremely low melting point--about 85 degrees Fahrenheit. The shiny metal, which isn't found by itself in nature, can be melted just by placing it in your hand. But gallium ...

The creation of stunning, tiny metal snowflakes — each only as wide as a human hair is thick — could pave the way towards new sensors, better industrial processes and even advanced and smaller ...

This is gallium. It's shiny, and can be turned into jello like liquid. You can also play with it, without being harmed. But what would happen if you put this metal into your mouth, and then swallowed ...

Katherine continues, “So far, there is clear evidence that regenerative farming can improve soil health (up to 70% increase ...

A room-temperature bonding technique for integrating wide bandgap materials such as gallium nitride (GaN) with thermally-conducting materials such as diamond could boost the cooling effect on GaN ...

Gallium is a soft silver metal - similar to aluminium - that is primarily used in electronic circuits. It is solid at room temperature but is so soft it can be cut with a knife. It melts at around ...

Artistic rendition of early stages of the Moon's formation. This material relates to a paper that appeared in the July 28, 2017, issue of Science Advances, published by AAAS. The paper, by C. Kato at ...
