(iii) Graphmeme suffers from high interfacial defect density when in contact with an oxide dielectric. Several solutions have been proposed, such as Ti and Ta seed layers, which form interfacial Ti or Ta oxides that can somewhat passivate defect behavior, but this remains a major hurdle.

(iv) The above all make it economically infeasible to scale graphmeme up to high volume production. Case in point, Intel halted its graphmeme research years ago.

The same thought processes as above can be applied to a wide range of other advances that you would be considered gated by materials science.

tl;dr: You feel hard for science memes.

Most universities have a system in place whereby a professor's promotion track is influenced by teaching evaluations. That or if they bring in little grant money, then they can 'pay it back' by teaching additional courses.

They'll care to the extent that it benefits them, in most cases. Whether or not they show that fact anywhere other than behind closed doors is something else. Very few, in my experience, care about effectively imparting knowledge... especially true for research professors.
