Now here's something that's much closer to Evil Stevie's description of
BPC, even though the name is different.

> The hardness of a material is measured by its isothermal bulk modulus.
> Aggregated diamond nanorods have a modulus of 491 gigapascals (GPa),
> compared with 442 GPa for conventional diamond. Dubrovinskaia and two of
> her co-workers - Leonid Dubrovinky and Falko Langenhorst - have patented
> the process used to make the new material.
>
> Diamond derives its hardness from the fact that each carbon atom is
> connected to four other atoms by strong covalent bonds. The new material is
> different in that it is made of tiny interlocking diamond rods. Each rod is
> a crystal that has a diameter of between 5 and 20 nanometres and a length
> of about 1 micron.

So when can we get Cybertanks built out of solid blocks of ADN?
