yea interesting! It’s definitely the arc I’m hoping for here …

that either the material is tougher to make than the papers suggest, or,

to get into my fantasy land, the material they made is a superconductor but they don’t really know why or how to make it the way they did as it was kinda some accident they weren’t in control of. If true, it would make whatever is left of the material rather valuable and subject to some drama I’d imagine.
