Something out the ays material science gets reported is broken. It's hard to distinguish between things that are theoretically possible and those that are in production now. Cost of production is also an issue.
Can we make a pencil out of this stuff. What would it cost?
- lambda 12y agoThis is true of pretty much all science reporting (at least, on things that are claimed to have some practical benefit). I think that the science reporters figure that if they simply report on every successful test, regardless of how far it is from being practical, eventually they will be the ones to have broken the news on "the next big thing".
