[TheForge] Physicists Have Identified a Metal That Conducts Electricity But Not Heat

[Bruce .]

But "vanadium dioxide", the material in question, is by definition not a
metal, but a metal oxide.

The property is very interesting though, and I expect the discovery is
going to lead to some fantastic technological progress, much like
superconductivity has done.

That's if floods an fire don't wipe us out first.
