Russian Chemist Dmitri Mendeleev, who developed the periodic table, predicted that a new element will be discovered to fill an empty spot in the table. In 1886AD, Germanium was discovered by German ...

Like carbon and silicon, germanium’s lighter brethren on the periodic table, the metalloid can bond to four different groups, forming a chiral, tetrahedral molecule. Researchers at Nankai University ...

A neural network trained on the properties of bulk germanium (a), MnGe (b) and Mn5Ge3 (c) could predict the vibrational properties of more complex structures of germanium-manganese such as (d).

WEST LAFAYETTE, Ind. - A laboratory at Purdue University provided a critical part of the world's first transistor in 1947 - the purified germanium semiconductor - and now researchers here are on the ...

Prof. Renald Blundell is a biochemist and biotechnologist with a special interest in Natural and Alternative Medicine. He is a professor at the Faculty of Medicine and Surgery, University of Malta. In ...
