Samarium is NOT a metal. It is a “rare earth”, a quasi-metallic element.

Interesting that it works in piezoelectric systems.
It’s similar to what they do with magnets.

Fender developed samarium-cobalt magnets for their noiseless single coil pickups around 15 years ago.

The headline is misleading. It implies that this is some type of solar energy break-through when actually this is an improvement in sensor technology.
To: Red Badger
The rumor is that Colt Industries is about to offer a Sam Colt Piezo-electric powered laser pistol that can accurately wipe out a Donk from 5 miles away.
Its a “tight beam “ model.
