Maybe, finally, I can get a jock strap that works.

You know everything you buy will be packaged in this stuff. Try to get that open.

With a 90-degree end-to-end rotation, it becomes a magnetic semiconductor. Replacement for transistors? Only if better, faster and more heat-resistant.

Carbyne is a chain of carbon atoms held together by either double or alternating single and triple atomic bonds. That makes it a true one-dimensional material... Maybe that's what they implanted in Obama's brain!

I don’t care what anyone says there ain’t no such thing as a one dimensional chain of anything.Theoretical physicists and their mental masturbatory dreams be damned.

That makes it a true one-dimensional material That would make it a *point object*, don't think so.

“Carbyne’s tensile strength — the ability to withstand stretching ....”
That’s an overly-simplified statement. The tensile strength of a material is the maximum amount of tensile stress (pulling force) it can withstand before failure. Some materials are ductile (stretch under tension), others are brittle (don’t stretch before breaking). A ductile material may have the same tensile strength as a brittle material — it would just stretch a lot more before failure. I won’t mention modulus of elasticity.

This is a big reason not to despair about the future: technology changes everything.

Is this a workable material?
Looking for a hollow sphere, 1 mm or so, with a number (probably less tnan a dozen) nanothickness spikes.

From the article: “Scientists have calculated it would take an elephant on a pencil to break through a sheet of graphene...”
I apologize for my fellow physicists. Apparently, in all that excitement, they forgot to calculate the piss-poor compressive strength of a pencil...
Cheers!
