New Exotic Material Could Revolutionize Electronics
Physicists Yulin Chen, Zhi-Xun Shen and their colleagues tested the behavior of electrons in the compound bismuth telluride.

Hold on there sparky. Bismuth though *safer* than Lead or Mercury still presents some issues the green freaks may go whacko over as its 'slightly' RADIOACTIVE

It is generally considered to be the last naturally occurring stable, non-radioactive element on the periodic table, although it is actually slightly radioactive, with an extremely long half-life.

So Bismuth could become the next 'plastic bag' (cough) problem.

After 20 years of using Bismuth shotgun shells for hunting the birds may start glowing in the dark.

Cool. It can generate its own electricity in a nanoreactor.

OK. But in the meantime what is Bismuth currently trading for?

We could all get rich before they realize that we're destroying life, the universe and everything.
