    The more uses the better. I still can't believe how much silver is being used in solar panels.

    Seems IF it comes to clinical application it will have a nanoincrease in the demand for silver! :)

    I understand silver is a critical component in vampire repellant. ;)

    You're probably right. Also, let's not forget that according to the Lone Ranger silver makes really great bullets. :D

    It is definitely anti-microbial.... which is why I was amazed when the big fuss over solder in electronics was made...forcing a switch to silver alloy. Lead, in soil, will not leach (the major fear of the alarmists), while silver will...and it will kill fish. A very stupid and ill informed move... Cheers, RickO
