00:00What if I told you one of the most expensive materials in the world
00:03costs over 106 million pounds per gram,
00:06and it's not gold, platinum, or diamonds?
00:09Meet nitrogen-atom-based endohedral fullerenes,
00:13a cutting-edge substance that could revolutionize technology as we know it.
00:17This futuristic material is made of carbon atoms
00:20forming a cage around a nitrogen atom.
00:22But why is it so expensive?
00:25It's because this tiny powder could power the next generation of atomic clocks,
00:30These clocks are mind-blowingly accurate,
00:32billions of times more precise than your average watch.
00:36Imagine having one of these atomic clocks inside your smartphone,
00:40allowing for ultra-accurate GPS.
00:42This could change everything from driverless cars to everyday navigation.
00:47Driverless cars would become more reliable,
00:50making technology we dream of today a reality tomorrow.
00:54We're not quite there yet, but with this powder in the lab,
00:58the future is closer than you think.
01:00Ready to see what's next?
