Very many researchers, including the front runners in gallium nitride, abandoned the development of gallium nitride-based devices. I have devoted myself to the study of crystal growth, aiming at the development of the p-n junction of gallium nitride.

Japanese Scientist

Gallium is very soft, can even be cut with a knife.

Soft Metal

Gallium melts just above room temperature, unlike most metals.

Low Melting Point

Gallium is often used in electronics, such as semiconductors and LEDs.

Tech Industry

 Not only did Mendeleev completely nail gallium, he predicted other elements that were unknown at the scandium, germanium, rhenium. The element he called eka-manganese is now called technetium.
