Additional support came in 1885 when eka-silicon, which had also been described in advance by Mendeleyev, was discovered and named germanium.
1885年，当门捷列夫描述过的埃卡-硅被发现并命名为锗时，也带来了额外的支持。

Gallium arsenide, silicon, and germanium are all examples of semiconductors, the type of material used in virtually all modern electronics.
镓砷化物，硅，和锗元素都属于半导体，而如今半导体在所有的现代电子元件中都会用到。

The development team demonstrated nanowires with layers of the different silicon and germanium materials that were atomically sharp and therefore more efficient at carrying electronic charges.
