The illness âmoves from joint to joint,ââ he said. Frey, who lived with his wife, Cindy, in Tribeca, died Monday at Columbia University Medical Center, part of New York-Presbyterian, in Washington Heights. He was 67. His health battles over the years led him to fight to stay in shape to keep things under control, said rocker pal Bob Seger. â[He was] a workout warrior from his 30s to his 60s,â Seger, 70, told the Detroit Free Press.
The average cost of germanium is $3 per gram. A chemical element with atomic number 32, germanium is a lustrous, hard, grayish-white metalloid in the carbon group, chemically similar to tin and silicon.It was discovered comparatively late because very few minerals contain it in high concentration. chemical element with atomic number 32, germanium is a lustrous, hard, grayish-white metalloid in the carbon group, chemically similar to tin and silicon.

It is a lustrous, hard, grayish-white metalloid in the carbon group, chemically similar to its group neighbors tin and silicon. Purified germanium is a semiconductor, with an appearance most similar to elemental silicon.Like silicon, germanium naturally reacts and forms complexes with oxygen in nature. Unlike silicon, it is too reactive to be found naturally on Earth in the free (native) state.istorically the first decade of semiconductor electronics was based entirely on germanium. Today, however, its production for use in semiconductor electronics is a small fraction (2%) of that of ultra-high purity silicon, which has largely replaced it.
