Gallium [格林], Indium [茵迪] & Germanium [哲梅]

Team semiconductors! :P PS: Indium's heart emoticon is meant for Germanium.

Indium's cloak imitates translucent indium tin oxide, and she can control the patterns displayed on it. Theoretically she can put a short message on it (e.g. 摸鱼想下班[slacking, want to go home]), or send emoticons to her friends. That's Gallium's idea, btw!

She respects and admires Tin, who had gently guided and encouraged her. Being quiet and approachable, she gets along well with fellow semiconductors - Germanium finds her adorable. Though she's a little afraid of Arsenic, whose thoughts seem opaque to her.

Gallium has a creative, fun, and playful vibe. His cloak is decorated with 3D-printed trinkets, which he switches from time to time. He enjoys puns and cracks friendly jokes around his teammates.

Gallium sometimes messed up Aluminium work, e.g. they get carried away with video games the day before Aluminium's assignment deadline (!). Having Arsenic on the team appears to keep them on track...

"Teeny Ted from Turnip Town" is the world's smallest printed book at 0.07mm * 0.10mm. It's carved on single-crystalline silicon using focused-gallion-ion beam at 7nm.

Experimental Evidence for a New Type of Magnetism

Spectroscopic data suggest that thin films of a certain semiconducting material can exhibit altermagnetism, a new and fundamental form of magnetism. [...] In 2022, theorists gave a name to a new class of magnetic order: altermagnetism (see Viewpoint: Altermagnetism Then and Now). Materials that exhibit this phenomenon are predicted to have no net magnetization and an electronic band structure that is split into spin-up and spin-down bands, giving these materials properties of both antiferromagnets and ferromagnets. Despite extensive effort, strong experimental evidence for the existence of altermagnetic materials has been lacking. Such evidence has now been found by Changyoung Kim at Seoul National University in South Korea and his colleagues [1]. The researchers say that the distinctive properties of altermagnets could be useful for spin-based electronics.

This is gonna sound kind of insane but if any of you have any technology in your workplace or home that is working sub-optimally get it fixed or replaced within the next four months just in case. I’ll explain a little.

So in order to make the silicone needed in processors they have to refine it from silicone dioxide also known as silica to get just the silicone out. Silicone dioxide is most abundant in a mineral called quartz. They’re basically one and the same except quartz is a rock and like most rocks it usually isn’t just made of one thing. Most quartz has inclusions or other contaminants in it from other minerals. If you grind up the average kind of quartz you’re not gonna get pure silica you’re gonna get some other stuff mixed in which makes it insanely difficult to get just the silicone out. Spruce Pine is special because it is the only source of the purest quartz ever found. It has almost no contaminants. There is no other known site on earth with quartz this pure. Having to source less pure quartz from other mines will take a long ass time and then an even longer ass time to refine it thoroughly enough to get just the silicone. Basically if our government doesn’t stop sending money to Israel for five seconds and go fix up this tiny Appalachian backwater quartz mine, the entire world is going to slow wayyyyyyyyy down.

That means new processors will become scarce. And considering the strain that cryptocurrency and now generative AI is putting on our electrical grids, we’re needing even more processors than usual.

So basically if we can’t get this mine fixed the world’s infrastructure is gonna collapse just a teeny bit and a lot of people are gonna lose access to water and electricity because a bunch of wealthy idiots are using it all for their fake money and stolen artwork.

Now you may be thinking that it’s not as big a deal as it sounds. Semi conductors aren’t in everything. Mostly just communication devices.

You’re wrong. This is a big fucking deal and we should all be terrified. Semiconductors are used in pretty much every communication device. This includes satellites not just your phones.

But the loss or slowing of communication isn’t the only scary thing.

This is an opportunity for permanent censorship of vulnerable communities

Right now the only reason we know what’s going on in the world is because we can all talk to each other instantly through this little rock in my hand. That plus satellites. If semi conductors become scarce the priority is going to be for governments and specifically militaries. If we can’t bomb children with drones connected to satellites then Uncle Sam will be very sad and we can’t have that now can we? Basically, the people most vulnerable to censorship will lose their ability to communicate because they will not have access to communication devices. That’s the long term consequence.

Now if the poor people can’t speak on the world stage then naturally some of the more privileged who will still have access to devices will become the voice for the voiceless. This is where the big scary future doom comes in.

The recent targeted attacks in Lebanon were all on communication devices. Pagers, phones, walkie talkies, and even car radios. Basically anything that had a processor. And we all know that the Middle East is where the West likes to test their new war crime toys. Now, if some of the privileged start speaking out, the wealthy elites and the governments of the world will have the capability to permanently silence those individuals.

I know I’m doomsday preaching again. I know I sound like a raving lunatic. I know I’m describing a dystopia that would make a very successful book trilogy and potentially a franchise, but I have yet to be wrong.

I may not be an expert on all this, I may be just a small voice on a very big platform, but I will scream doom from the mountain tops if that’s what it takes to save even one person. At the very least I’ll be able to say that I tried.

My final message is this; prep for the worst, hope for the best.

Up until these imperialist sanctions, China had obtained its semiconductor and other tech designs from a complex global network. Facing this U.S. blockade, the Chinese government began a robust campaign to develop its own semiconductor design capabilities. With this new Huawei success, it appears that socialist China has made a massive breakthrough.
