Ricard, I believe that most silver tarnish is due to nitrogen, of course, sulphur will also impact surface degradation, but it is not as prevalent as nitrogen. As for the tarnish free alloy, sure it is quite possible, but I do not know the details. Zeev

Richard, I came across this site accpc.com. After you get past all the UFO verbage, the company claims to have developed a trans capacitor that uses doped silver as a semiconductor material. The company claims 12000 times speed increase over transistor technology and no heat. They have supposedly held informal talks with Intel, and are being bought by a Bell company. I have not tried to verify any of this info. My point is simply the possibility that silver could replace silicon as a chip material. It would seem that new uses for silver should only help the metal move higher. Tony
