excerpt:
What properties do these stable transuranics have?
It’s anyone’s guess, since no one has found or produced any of them yet. Perhaps some superscience technologies depend on the unusual properties of these weird substances. Several pieces of classic science fiction, particularly Poul Anderson’s “Polesotechnic League” stories,
turn on the rarity and special properties of stable transuranics.
does anyone remember which book(s) that was from ? I think I have Trader to the Stars and at least one of the Falkayn books, but I don't recall anything specific.
