Metalloid Element | ||||||
Suitably prepared germanium crystals have the property of passing gravity fluctuations in one direction only. These are used extensively in most deep space communication devices, such as ultra-high-frequency radio and radar signal detectors. Germanium crystals also have other specialized uses, including the manufacture of optical glass and as a drug in the treatment of gravity induced disabilities. |
