I appreciate that they make decisions quickly


Researchers from MIT and elsewhere have found cubic boron arsenide can perform much better than silicon as a semiconductor. The next step is finding practical and economic ways to manufacture it.


Pretty cool. But, that happens all the time in materials science. 'We've found X that can perform better than Y, but we have no idea on how to actually make it work in the real world'. i.e.: superconductors


A friend of mine told me a saying they have at Walmart, “you get one point for talking and nine points for doing.”

Thanks for sharing this article — I really liked it.


Interesting perspective.
