Germanium's existence was predicted before anyone isolated it. This was a triumph for Dmitri Mendeleev in his construction of the periodic table. By 1869, Mendeleev had assembled a crude table of the ...

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 ...

Germanium. It might sound like just another periodic table entry (number 32, to be exact), but in the world of infrared light, it’s anything but ordinary. A recent video by [The Action Lab ...

Today we know there are 118 elements, all which can be found on the modern periodic table. The element germanium was discovered in 1886. Its properties were similar to the predicted ones of ...

Silicon, since it's right above germanium on the periodic table and has similar properties, might make a better gadget. But, they said, no one should expect a silicon transistor for years.
