Inexpensive breeding.

I fail to see how this comes out to 'ITS DA FUTURE'. Pretty neat and certainly useful for some things, yeah, but hardly a world changing development
also, post sauce or it doesnt real

>“Q-carbon’s strength and low work-function – its willingness to release electrons – make it very promising for developing new electronic display technologies,” Narayan says.

The fact of the matter is it's too new to fully understand the applications of the material. I'm just having fun you little salty bitch.

Wait are you talking about that new substance that was on cnn which they claim is this new really expensive super material? The one with the "honey comb" crystal latice? I think it's bullshit.

inb4 academic misconduct

What's sad is there will be some folks who think this would be a great investment opportunity.

You're getting closer...

>may be found in some cores of planets

we havent even gotten to our own core and its just speculation. how the fuck would they know what other cores are made up of?

when did assumption become law?

>>7696792
>how do make q carbon
Lots of heat and pressure on other types of carbon within a certain range
>what planet core probably like
lots of heat and pressure and maybe some carbon
There you go. Also, who was acting like it was law? The two people you quoted both qualified the statement heavily

>>7696792

They know what conditions are required to produce the phase in the lab.

They have a decent idea of where those conditions occur in nature.

''Conditions'' here mostly referring to temperature and pressure since we're talking about phases of matter but possibly also shit like available cooling rates.

No no, that's Graphene. An exciting material but currently bullshit because it's impossible to produce in any practical way.

APPEARS to be harder than diamond.

Fuck all this press-release science.
