Semi gemstone-like structure
From apm
Stuff that exhibit at least in some dimensions diamondoid stiffness but may be quite flexible in others.
- graphene
- nanotubes
- polyine rods (?)
- thin diamondoid rods that become too long in relation
Bigger pieces need to be managed. Nanotubes could be transported in coil barrels (kinking radius?). (are polyine rod barrels possible?)
Less strongly meshed structures are more suszeptible to radiation damage. In data storage devices there has to be made a trade-of.
Microcomponent maintainance units could test barrels e.g. for the cable to be snapped by just scrolling it in all the way and checking for a force when the endstop is reched.
