Their family would be miserable, their kids would swear to never become a material science expert, and they'd all be missing on the cross discussions with other fields and inspirations coming from outside the material science world ?

Not really trying to be flippant, but that pretty much feels like a James Bond villain fantasy, and only a few select people would probably enjoy the setting.

We kinda have a real world equivalent with people working on the LHC by the way.

Maybe someone with a billion dollars could re-locate them and their families onto some posh island all expenses paid. If Elon had instead invested 40B into this and other tactical science projects rather than dump it into Twitter, imagine the possibilities lol.
