Scientists create world’s strongest material

Impressive

Interesting for sure.

So, what are its attributes at room temperature? 500 times stronger at -400 degrees is great, but, not too useful.

I would think it would be unobtainable....

Sounds great until you have to cut/grind/weld it.

Slap some unicorn ivory on it, and what a fantastic knife.

How should I know. I'm not a biologist.

At least you only have to do it once.

-400 degrees?
Perfect for a knife fight out in space.
Good stuff for NASA though @ 2.7 kelvin

"Stronger" is also pretty vague.

Sounds like they mean harder, but there is a reason we don't make knives out of diamond, and it's not just the cost.

Nobody *really* wants an assisted opener made with a tungsten carbide blade for a reason.

AK is fine do not mess with design comrade.
