Oh dear. Polyoxometalates are not metal ... just as table salt isn't metal despite its being 40% by weight sodium. I have a pet peeve surrounding scientifically illiterate science journalists. cn

it seems too often science "news" is either sensationalism or consumer products hype

"lifelike" "may" "potentially" "i think" "could"......
