The US Department of Energy has selected five technology companies to develop domestic gallium production capabilities, addressing a critical vulnerability as the US is 100% net import reliant on gallium and has not domestically produced the mineral since 1987. The initiative is part of a broader federal push to secure supply chains for minerals essential to semiconductors and defense systems.
