Selenium is an interesting element.  Besides being a key element in some interesting semiconductors (CdSe solar cells, nanoparticles, etc.), it is also an essential trace element in the body.  Getting less than 5mcg a day on average will cripple your metabolism, but taking 5mg is a lethal dose.  Who would have thought... only three orders of magnitude?!
