It is apparently over 500% tougher than diamond. So, if they can scale it up industrially, you could be looking at something that is virtually unbreakable.
You could drop your cellphone from the top of your house onto the cement and not break the glass, although from that height your other components might not survive.
The applications of this material are really world changing, beyond our imaginations.

“Newly-Developed Carbon Nanolattices are Stronger than Diamonds”
There that dirty word there - carbon - that’s going to be a problem.
Not carbon free, not good!

Higher Ratio of Strength to density or weight.
Meaningless, so does an ant
Hardness and durability of diamond is the standard
