Pretty amazing metal...er...if you're into amazing metals that is. Melting point of over 4000F compared to about 2500F for silicon or steel. Used in nuclear control robs. The shiniest metal. I wonder how toxic such a heavy metal will be.

Fascinating stuff Blir. Thanks! I get all excited thinking about the future of electronics. Makes me wish I could live forever to see it all unfold [:o)]
