Most modern semiconductors are fabricated of or on silicon (Si), but as devices get smaller and denser, they dissipate more power and, as a result, are reaching their physical limits. Germanium ...

China has suspended a ban on approving exports of “dual-use items” related to gallium, germanium, antimony, and super-hard materials to the U.S., the Commerce Ministry said on Sunday (November 9, 2025 ...

China has lifted a nearly year-long ban on exports of gallium, germanium and antimony to the US, in a further de-escalation of trade tensions between the world’s two largest economies. In a statement ...

Researchers have made germanium superconducting for the first time, a feat that could transform computing and quantum technologies. Using molecular beam epitaxy to embed gallium atoms precisely, the ...

A superconductor made from germanium, a material commonly used to build computer chips, could one day create better and more reliable quantum computers. Superconductors are materials that conduct ...

Scientists have long sought to make semiconductors—vital components in computer chips and solar cells—that are also superconducting, thereby enhancing their speed and energy efficiency and enabling ...

GOUVERNEUR, N.Y., Oct. 20, 2025 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) — Titan Mining Corporation (TSX: TI; OTCQB: TIMCF) (“Titan” or the “Company”), an existing zinc concentrate producer in upstate New York and an ...

The first transistors were point contact devices, not far from the cats-whiskers of early radio receivers. They were fragile and expensive, and their performance was not very high. The transistor ...

As the world scrambles to secure dominance in artificial intelligence, one obscure mineral has quietly soared more than 450% in price - largely under the radar of most investors. Germanium, a rare ...

Roula Khalaf, Editor of the FT, selects her favourite stories in this weekly newsletter. Chinese export restrictions on germanium, a metal crucial for the defence industry, have created a “desperate” ...

Metals supplier Korea Zinc and Lockheed Martin have announced plans to establish a “China-free” supply of germanium for the US defense giant. The chemical element is critical to many optics ...
