Pyrolytic Carbon? -----Original Message----- From: TechNet [mailto:[log in to unmask]] On Behalf Of David D. Hillman Sent: Friday, June 18, 2010 4:57 AM To: [log in to unmask] Subject: [TN] NTC Friday Element Quiz Hi gang! Ok, here is the Friday Element Quiz: The Question: This element expands during solidification which is odd behavior for a metal and a very active topic of materials research. This element has the highest diamagnetism of any metal. The electrical conductivity of this element's solid phase is lower than it's liquid phase. This element is normally nontoxic to humans but cases have been documented where bacteria have converted pharmaceuticals containing this element from water insoluble to water soluble compounds resulting in poisoning. This element is produced as a by product of Cu and W mining. Who am I? Doug is on vacation this week so we are giving away is desk chair as the prize. Good Luck.
