The researchers' material of choice is an alloy of germanium, antimony and tellurium.

研究人员选择的材料镓、锑和碲合金。

To test this idea, he grew crystals of silicon that contained tiny particles of germanium in their lattices.

为了验证个观点，他研制出了晶体，晶体的点阵之间含着细小的。

Kilby built his ICs out of germanium, a rare and unstable material.

Kilby 用制造了他的 IC，种稀有且不稳定的材料。

Trace amounts of water, silicon, germanium, or magnesium might also influence a diamond’s shape.

微量的水、、或镁也可能影响钻石的形状。

These could be a liquid noble gas, germanium and silicon crystals, a refrigerant, or other materials.

些可能液态惰性气体、和晶体、制冷剂或其他材料。

Gallium and germanium may also be useful in electric vehicles, nuclear energy and other devices, including weapons.

镓和还可用于电动汽车、核能和其他设备，包括武器。

China supplies about 80% of the world's gallium and germanium.

中国供应全球约80%的镓和。

So this is a small sample of germanium, named after Germany, so you can see the wonderful shiny surfaces.

所以个小的样品， 以德国命名，所以你可以看到美妙的闪亮表面。

America may source as much as 50% of its germanium supply from China, according to Jefferies, an investment bank.

据投资银行杰富瑞 (Jefferies) 称，美国可能有多达 50% 的供应来自中国。

They talked about gallium and germanium, which, you know, are pretty widely available and not so essential for so much of that supply chain.

他们谈到了镓和，你知道，它们的供应相当广泛， 但对于供应链的大部分环节来说并不那么重要。

So, in Bell Labs in the States, they developed basically a tiny amplifier that could be made out of a single speck of silicon or germanium.

因此，在美国贝尔实验室，他们基本上开发了种微型放大器，可以用单个或微制成。

Based in an abandoned mine in Canada, SuperCDMS is designed to detect subtle collisions between light dark matter particles—including SIDM candidates—and atoms in silicon and germanium crystals.

SuperCDMS位于加拿大的个废弃矿井中，旨在检测轻暗物质子（包括SIDM候选子）与和晶体中的原子之间的微妙碰撞。

But on July 3rd it brought out a bigger gun, saying that it would impose export controls on gallium and germanium, two metals used in high-end semiconductors.

但7月3日，它又拿出了更大的枪，称将对镓和两种用于高端半导体的金属实施出口管制。

The Chinese government may well grant these quite freely: after all, a total prohibition would hurt Chinese exporters, who sell a lot of germanium and gallium to American customers.

中国政府很可能会非常自由地批准些：毕竟，全面禁止会伤害中国出口商，他们向美国客户出售大量和镓。
