The universe's most incredible material just became the "world's best" according to yet another scientific metric.
It might not sound as exciting as the "heart tattoo" that my fellow editor Alex Koyfman reported on last week, but stay with me. Researchers can hardly even grasp the full ramifications of this discovery.
The "strange-metal regime" is a phrase coined by Lancaster University physicist Dr. Leonid Ponomarenko. While researching graphene, his team achieved a result that has never been seen before.
Using average-quality graphene - not the high-purity stuff that can only be made by the gram - Ponomarenko reported mind-blowing levels of magnetoresistance.
Magnetoresistance is a rare but critical characteristic. Higher levels of it mean that a material's electrical resistance changes in the presence of a magnetic field.
On average, most materials change resistance by just a fraction of a percent at room temperature. Before this discovery, high levels of magnetoresistance existed only in supercooled objects.
Graphene, on the other hand, has the unique ability to change resistance by more than 100% at room temperature.
If there wasn't hard evidence, you would have a hard time convincing the rest of the world that this is even possible.
It's yet another reason that graphene is arguably the most important material on Earth - maybe even the universe. You'll Never Be On The Inside!

Graphene burst onto the tech scene years ago when it was touted as the next big battery material. While that's still one of most important applications, this discovery is the beginning of something completely new.
High magnetoresistance means that electrons can be manipulated into specific spin directions. Each electron can then be used to store information using a principle called spintronics.
These devices never lose data, even when the power is cut off. The data is programmed directly into the electrons themselves.
Other types of material would need to be supercooled to achieve the same effect. It opens up a completely new world of possibilities for computing.
Analysts put the value of the global computer memory industry at around $130 billion per year. Graphene memory drives could disrupt that market practically overnight.
So let's recap quickly: graphene is set to become the new standard in...
Battery technology Medical devicesAdvanced electronicsHigh-performance sensorsComputer memoryThe list gets longer by the day. All in all, graphene is set to disrupt a huge range of markets with a combined value easily in the trillions of dollars.
The only thing holding graphene back is itself. Creating a two-dimensional material is almost physically impossible, so manufacturing it at scale is a major engineering headache.
Very few companies possess the expertise to create enough graphene to meet the soaring demand. For investors like us, that's a technical moat that limits our options down to just one.
The company I'm talking about is one of the only teams to ever produce graphene in any quantity. But the engineers behind it have their sights set on one goal: commercial graphene.
