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
Ha ha, are there any samples that aren't beautiful and fantastic?
