We do have a shortage of dilithium crystals.

I would like to see more experimentation with magnetism. For example I find it fascinating that It is magnetic at normal temperatures, but critical temperature (about 1420° F for simple carbon steel) also makes steel non-magnetic. But it doesn't become magnetic again until it drops to about 500° F

Nuclear reaction is over rated. They say the earths gravity is similar to magnetism, if so then does all magnetism, even small magnets apply to Einsteins theory of General relativity

perhaps there is a way to manipulate time as it passes through some sort of crystaline structure enough to create a "exponentially magnetic" power source, now that would be "The Philosophers Stone"

Fusion power has been 25 years away for the last 50 years.
