The element so instrumental in the success of CIGS or Copper Indium Gallium Selenide solar panels garners little respect. If you do some research on Gallium you will see very few articles on this element. What you see is people talking about how to make melting spoons, and talk of the metal melting in your hand due to its low melting point of 85 F or 29.8 C.

In 1875 Paul Emile Lecoq de Boisbaudran discovered Gallium spectroscopically.
