Indestructible is doing some heavy lifting here. This is actually a diamond composite reinforced with carbon nanotubes. The clever part is that the nanotubes help stop cracks from propagating, making it about 5 times tougher than single-crystal diamond while preserving its extreme hardness. That could be genuinely useful for cutting tools, aerospace and other extreme environments. Amazing materials science without needing the superhero headline.
