It can be stated that new materials lead to new developments in technology. In modern electronics, for example, semiconductors have le to many advances such as transistors, Diodes and integrated circuits. These devices have made possible the manufacture of revolutionary equipment. Such as portable TV sets and central 5 processing units (CPUs).
Three good examples of semiconductor materials are silicon, germanium and gallium arsenide. Silicon is the most widely used semiconductor and it is basically used for integrated circuits. Germanium is primarily used for transistors and diodes. Gallium arsenide is a very fast semiconductor and it is mainly used in applications where fast speed is essential. For instance, in computers and high-frequency applications.
Among the conductors, copper has been widely used for cables but lately it is being replaced by optical fibers, that is, thin and flexible fibers made of glass. Insulating materials, such as glass. Rubber, paper, air or ceramics and plastics are widely used for insulation and mounting parts.
Other important materials in electronics are iron. Nickel and cobalt. These are ferromagnetic materials and they are extensively used as alloys and oxides in recording media like tapes and discs.

this super interesting your post, it is what you say about inetresante semiconductors, let me say that this progress will continue with studies and research on super conductors, and there are still very expensive but I think in a period no longer than five or six he started listening to force the use of such material.
