But these calls weren’t about rare earths. They were about something considerably rarer: the metal gallium. Neo recycles a few dozen tons of high-purity gallium a year, mostly from semiconductor ...

For example, US imports of gallium metal and gallium arsenide wafers in 2022 were valued at only about $225 million, according to government data. But their use in strategic industries means any ...

Gallium, a critical metal used in semiconductors, solar panels, and other advanced technologies, has climbed to $595 per kilogram, the highest price since 2011. Trade flows in these small ...

Dinsmore and co-workers went a step further and placed a droplet of gallium on a solid-metal substrate 3. Gold nanocrystals protected by an organic monolayer were adsorbed on the gallium surface ...

A recent study published in Engineering presents a novel approach to address the challenges of high-power direct current fast charging (DC-HPC) in ...

Gallium is extracted as a byproduct from processing aluminum ore. The rare metal is a component in LEDs, mobile phones, LCD screens, and semiconductors. Gallium Gallium nitride is among the ...

This study explores liquid metal-based flexible three-dimensional integrated circuits (3D ICs), highlighting their ...

and gallium-indium-tin (Galinstan). Liquid metals can be synthesized and processed using various techniques, depending on the desired application and the specific liquid metal composition: Liquid ...

Ohio State University (OSU): OSU has focused on increasing the growth rate for gallium oxide (β-Ga2O3) epitaxy using metal-organic chemical vapor deposition (MOCVD). They have studied the effect of ...

Initial testing of the advanced electrothermal process on semiconductor metal refining waste achieved recoveries of ~90% gallium and ~80% germanium. These recovery rates match or exceed ...
