Newer version of our gallium video at http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=N6ccRvKKwZQ

Gallium is element number 31 on the periodic table. Its melting point is just 303K
(just under 30 °C), meaning it is classed as a liquid in some countries! All the elements at http://www.periodicvideos.com/

  • Pretty much the entire science of optoelectronics is centered around III-V semiconductor compounds.

  • Gallium is one of the most important elements in modern electronics; it's used to make what are called III-V semiconductors- that is, semiconductors which are made of elements from the third and fifth groups of the periodic table; they are used in lasers, LEDs, microwave transistors, photodetectors and a whole host of other electronic devices. There is even a company in the Netherlands called Three Five Photonics.

  • this is horrible, they didnt ewven melt it...

  • Gallium compounds, especially gallium arsenide are researched extensively in the semiconductor industry. Just if you guys wanted to know.... Theres more to Gallium!

  • @saintaureus Not that they have. :P

  • I've just read that gallium will run out by 2017 and it is used extensively in flat screen TV's

  • If not for Gallium, there wouldn't be any blue LEDs and that means no white LED light either.

  • @saintaureus dont forget incredible

  • LOL

    Yeah, it's like whether it is a powder, solid or liquid, it's beautiful every time XD
