Sup guys!! Had some interesting thoughts in my chemistry class and followed them up. I was remembering the mining facility in Leviathan and the guy who kept repeating, "Do you know the applications of tungsten?" (something like that) Well look what I found!! :
"The unalloyed elemental form is used mainly in electrical applications. Tungsten's many alloys have numerous applications, most notably in incandescent light bulb filaments, X-ray tubes (as both the filament and target), electrodes in TIG welding, and superalloys. Tungsten's hardness and high density give it military applications in penetrating projectiles.
Tungsten compounds are most often used industrially as catalysts."
I also had an idea of something to look up. You know how elements are present a lot in the Mass Effect Universe? Well has anyone tried to convert them into their elemental letter and see if there is a message??
Just some thoughts....
