Smart phone ingredient found in plant extracts Smart phone ingredient found in plant extracts Scientists in Germany to a way to extract the germanium chemical plants of the precious element, which is used in the manufacture of smartphones. And germanium semiconductor used in the development of the first transistor for the ability to transfer electronic shipments by leaps and bounds. At present, the silicon / germanium alloys are indispensable in modern life, the vitality in computers, smart phones and fiber optic cable industry. Smart phone ingredient found in plant extracts And because it is transparent to infrared light, the germanium is also used in intelligent guidance systems, and sensors stand in cars. Although this element found in soil all over the world, the extraction is difficult, and most of its supplies currently come from China. Now, scientists from Freiburg University of Mining and Technology in Germany are believed to have found the way they d...
