Why is Tantalum special:

Tantalum issued in the production of electronic components, especially portable devices (corrosion resistance and forming insulating layers). 

Tantalum alloys can be extremely strong and have been used for turbine blades, rocket nozzles and nose caps for supersonic aircraft.

Tantalum is widely use in the making of surgical implants. It can replace bone, for example in skull plates; as foil or wire it connects torn nerves; and as woven gauze it binds abdominal muscle.
