We just have to look for asteroid Cubic Boric Arsenide and mine it.

I remember reading a few years back that lab grown diamonds were to be the next ‘silicon’. I wonder what happened to that?....................

Have they tried unobtanium? That looks very very promising.

Probably because it’s too difficult to produce in quantity.🤔

This looks like early research. Germanium held similar promise for decades, but, in practice, the advantages always seem to be outweighed by the disadvantages, for integrated circuits. Silicon is tough to beat.

If you write up your results to say “We found this new material with interesting properties, but it probably has no practical application”, you probably don’t get more funding.

Cubic boron arsenide was the active ingredient found in Happy Fun Ball.
