Chemistry.

The element germanium.

1886 Jrnl. Chem. Soc. 50 421 The author has found that this deficiency is due to the presence of a new element, for which he proposes the name Germanium (Ge).

1922 T. M. Lowry Inorg. Chem. xxxv. 681 Winkler, who found it in argyrodite, GeS₂,4Ag₂S, identified it with Medeléeff's eka-silicon and gave to it the patriotic name Germanium.

1978 H. M. Rosenberg Solid State (ed. 2) ix. 143 The separation of the conduction band is ≃0·75 eV for Ge and ≃1·1 eV for Si.

GE adj. genetically engineered, designating food, organisms, etc., that have undergone or been produced by genetic engineering.
