Скачать или смотреть Why Canadian Trash Costs $30,000 per Gram

Companies around the world are fighting to buy a rare radioactive substance, despite its $30,000-per-gram price tag. This substance powers emergency exit signs that can stay bright for two decades without power, glow-in-the-dark keychains, and might one day unlock the holy grail of clean energy. What is this mystery substance? Join George as he discovers one of the world’s most expensive materials.
