Nitrogen Atom-Based Endohedral Fullerene, developed by scientists at Oxford University, is described as the most expensive material in the world.
It was announced that the substance called Nitrogen Atom Based Endohedral Fullerene, one gram of which is worth 106 million pounds (approximately 4.7 billion TL), is the most expensive substance in the world. It is a matter of curiosity why the material is so valuable.
In the statement made by Oxford University, it was stated that Endohedral Fullerene is thought to completely change the future of technology.
Scientists find the possibility of this new material producing extremely accurate atomic clocks exciting.
According to the news reported by NTv; While traditional atomic clocks are usually room-sized and measure time using the vibrations of atoms, the team at Oxford aims to reduce atomic clocks to sizes that can fit into mobile phones with this technology they have developed.
Scientists state that this new material can create a big revolution, especially for driverless vehicles.
Currently, GPS systems can provide accuracy of up to a few meters, which is not enough for the safe driving of autonomous vehicles. However, this precision can be reduced to millimeters with mini atomic clocks.
In this way, autonomous vehicles can be safely monitored even in tunnels or weak GPS signal areas, and driving control can become safer.
Research is still ongoing and it may take a few more years for this technology to enter our daily lives.
