    It’s a better conductor than copper. Doesn’t oxidize like copper. Could be very useful if I’m the far future it could replace copper.

      It’s actually a worse conductor than copper. It’s just used for contacts because it’s nearly as good of a conductor and it doesn’t oxidize. If you want a better conductor than copper then you want silver which to my knowledge is the best conductor out of all the base elements.
