It was truly discovered in Germany in 1889 by Clemins Winkler; after examining a mineral sample from a silver mine. He  named the new element Germanium after the Latin 'Germania' meaning Germany.]]> 2017-10-26 01:46:46 UTC https://padlet.com/iylafeist1/dzt1in4jagde/wish/200660931 iylafeist1 https://padlet.com/iylafeist1/dzt1in4jagde/wish/200662784 2017-10-26 01:58:47 UTC https://padlet.com/iylafeist1/dzt1in4jagde/wish/200662784 iylafeist1 https://padlet.com/iylafeist1/dzt1in4jagde/wish/200663099 Symbol: Ge

When doped with small amounts of arsenic, gallium, indium, antimony or phosphorus, germanium is used to make transistors for use in electronic devices. Germanium is also used to create alloys and as a phosphor in fluorescent lamps. Both germanium and germanium oxide (GeO) are transparent to infrared radiation and are used in infrared optical instruments and infrared detectors. Some germanium compounds seem to be effective in killing some types of bacteria and are currently being studied for use in chemotherapy.]]> 2017-10-26 02:30:39 UTC https://padlet.com/iylafeist1/dzt1in4jagde/wish/200666210 iylafeist1 https://padlet.com/iylafeist1/dzt1in4jagde/wish/200666353 https://www.livescience.com/29520-germanium.html
