What are aggregated diamond nanorods?

The least known material with the least compressible material with a volume module 491 Gigapascals (GPA) is aggregated diamond nanorods. They are what you get when you compress bucstubes, allotrop carbon, at 20 GPa, below 2,500 Kelvin, using a press of 5,000 metric tons designed specifically for this purpose. The final result is spaghetti of interconnected diamond nanotubes with a diameter between 5 and 20 nanometers and lengths of about micrometers. The conventional diamond has a mass module of 442 GPa. A mass module 491 GPA means that for compressing the material it would be necessary to increase the pressure by 49.1 GPa by 10%, it would be necessary to increase the pressure of 98.2 GPa by an increase of 20%, etc. By comparison, the pressure on the sea level (1 atmosphere) equals about 100 kPa (kilopascals) and every 32.8 feet (10 meters) descent in the ocean is the pressure of a different atmosphere. So the lowest point in the ocean, about 6.2 miles (10 km) down, is experiencing pressure by 100 MPa on the surface, which would be enough to compress a solid ball of aggregated diamond nanorods for factsR 0.002%.

They will receive their strength from the famous binding of SP 2 , the strongest links in the whole chemistry. It is a binding to a carbon-carbon, which is also located in the graphite (along the 2D planes with a thickness of the atom), in the diamond (3D) and the nanotube of carbon nanotubes (which was designed as building material for cosmic lifts). The binding of SP 2

is not just the strongest known chemical binding, it is the strongest possible chemical binding, so these nanorods can not only be the least compressible material that scientists currently know, but the least compressible material, periods. The only exception can be an exotic matter inside a super dense stars, sometimes called neutronium.

It is remarkable that these nanorods are even denser than a pure diamond by a factor of 0.3%. Their appearance is dark with a slight scattering of light similar to rainbow light, similar to the oil view of the asphalt. Other substances of lessPressable than diamond, but more than aggregated diamond nanorods, include IIA and Ultrahard Fullerite diamonds.
