Hello all.

Certainly interesting in that the temperature and electrical resistance are
opposites! I was looking for such a substance awhile ago.

It Sounds pretty deadly to breath in its powered form though. How much is in
unknown insulators???

Beryllium copper makes an excellent conductive spring!

   Breathing in powdered glass or alumina or eating either isn't 
very good for yourself!  BeO and diamond are a couple of substances 
with high thermal conductivity and low electrical conductivity, 
something you don't see in too many materials.
