So, right now, it's equivalent to Unobtainium?

I can remember when scientists toiled for years to come up with a revolutionary product. Now, they're doing it every month or so.

Makes my pinhead spin.

23 years ago the international TIN agreement 'fell over'.
Tin as a 'replacement for copper and graphene' could be another way of 'engineering' a new range of uses for value adding tin. Time to invest ... and interesting side question.

Pewter with a very high tin content (and a low melt temp) could be used in 3D printing to make 3D 'printed circuit boards', akin to high tin content in stanene. May need insulating guide support tracks in a dual head 3D printer so the pewter deposits are contained.

Stanene is a theorized material most likely simlilar to unobtanium. The writer of this article spoke of 60 miles of copper wire in complex chips...bullCR4p. The substrate bonding wires would be lucky to reach 6 feet, and they're usually NOT copper. More government grant money?
