now all the women will want these hyper diamonds, oh shit
So in the picture, I guess the top row is boring diamond and bottom is hyperdiamond?
I'll finally be able to mine redstone at less than a minute a block
I can't get my head around the bonding arrangement of that carbon. The picture included is still really confusing.

This is diamond:

One atom at each corner of the tetrahedron.
This is T-diamond:

In each corner of the tetrahedron there is another tetrahedron made of carbon atoms in every corner.
EDIT: It's... Recursive diamond.

It's not harder than diamond, though...

Or basically a crystal...

Why does that look like a tessarect? :psyduck:
Seriously, though, what does this do? I read and understood those technical details, but what applications require a lighter, softer, semi-conductive diamond?

That looks kinda like a tesseract. (Hypercube, in case you didn't know)

Oh fuck me I am late.
Wow, carbon's turning out to be a holy grail of the periodic table...

It pretty much has been for the good part of a couple of billion of years.
Thanks for being our prime scientific correspondent Eudoxia, you're doing outstanding work.
