Topic	Physicists Have Identified a Metal That Conducts Electricity But Not Heat

Every time I hear about some new form of magic science, it never ends up being realistic for a hundred different reasons. Until this kind of stuff actually hits the market, I'll remain skeptical. Yeah the article doesnt go into how common the metal is, how expensive it would be to work with, and according to the wikipedia page the stuff is toxic to humans Well shit, according to the state of California, just about anything made of metal is toxic to humans so there's that. How many "toxic to humans" materials do you have in your house right now I wonder? Were you about to sit down to a nice snack of bleach and tide pods? Maybe a febreeze chaser? A WD-40 cocktail? Maybe snack on the battery in your cellphone? Maybe you were feeling a bit peckish and wanted to gnaw on your TV set or your computer monitor... Do you realize how stupid this post is yet, or shall I go on? Dude. You might want to chill a bit. All Im saying is that it isnt clear what the viability of the stuff could be in everyday practical applications until more is known about it. --- More malicious than mischievous <cite>Mead posted [p:930942142] in Physicists...
