Behold the eternal battle of materials science funding! On the left, we have elaborate lab setups costing millions—vacuum chambers, zero-gravity simulators, cryogenic equipment—all to develop some fancy new material. And on the right? Just graphene, a single atom-thick carbon sheet that keeps outperforming everything while researchers doodle it with pencils. Twenty years of "graphene will revolutionize everything" papers later, and we're still using the same overpriced pens. The universe has a twisted sense of humor when a 2D material with the thickness of literally nothing consistently humiliates our most expensive research equipment.
