I don’t think it’s that misleading honestly, and anything with scarcity in the right quantity can be worth billions, also subjective as to what manufacturers will pay per pound, less than 1000 Tons of material can be worth billions..
If you can make a new material that can be used in ways no other material can, yes, it will be worth billions.
Strange, though. I remember a man about 20 years ago that invented a material that was so durable it couldn't be melted, and was nearly impossible to cut. It was reported, then never heard about again.
And do U remember when they invented a car paint that never got dirty? Never have to wash your car? I was eagerly awaiting for a car like that, never came out…
I think those ideas are taken by agencies like NASA, or the DoD, for "national security reasons". Once they get their use out of it and have advanced it, they release the original version 20 years later as a "new" invention.
Headline is slightly misleading. The alloy itself is not worth billions. The alloy will allow for NASA potentially spend billions in new missions.
