What on Earth?

A new use for scandium

A new use has been discovered
For a little known element
Scandium, isn't widely known
But it may now be relevant.

A brew concocted, in the lab,
Will put this on the map,
It'll cost a fortune, but what the heck,
A princely sum shall be in their lap.

What is this marvel of science?
One that will be such a hit?
It'll cover all of the blemishes,
That other products permit.

I'm sure this is hooey,
If not down right fallacy;
But who knows whether or not
It will just be fantasy.
