Physicists in Germany have created a material that is harder than diamond. Natalia Dubrovinskaia and colleagues at the University of Bayreuth made the new material by subjecting carbon-60 molecules to immense pressures. The new form of carbon, which is known as aggregated diamond nanorods, is expected to have many industrial applications (App. Phys. Lett. 87 083106).
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.
The group created the ADNRs by compressing the carbon-60 molecules to 20 GPa, which is nearly 200 times atmospheric pressure, while simultaneously heating to 2500 Kelvin. "The synthesis was possible due to a unique 5000-tonne multianvil press at Bayerisches Geoinstitut in Bayreuth that is capable of reaching pressures of 25 GPa and temperatures of 2700 K at the same time," Dubrovinskaia told PhysicsWeb.
The Bayreuth team measured the properties of the samples with a diamond anvil cell at the European Synchrotron Radiation Facility at Grenoble in France. These measurements indicated that ADNRs are about 0.3% denser than diamond, and that the new material has the lowest compressibility of any known material.
In addition to working out why the new material is so hard, the Bayreuth team also hope to exploit its industrial potential. "We have developed a concept for innovative technology to produce the novel material in industrial-scale quantities and now we are looking for partners in order to realize our ideas," said Dubrovinskaia.
Not necessarily, it all depends on what system that particular website uses for authentication. If it is a hashed system for example then they could potentially have the password hash, but that still requires a bit of work to get back the actual password. Especially if the hash is salted.
That Case is pretty damn cool, but 250 hrs, that is insane, how can there possibly be time to do that, like does this guy have absolutely no life? or was this some type of a job project? cool but way over the top
Damn straight,
if people are that stupid they deserve it.
and the SAT really isn't that much of a challenge.
Basic algebra and geometry.
and a computer well that is just
point, click, crash, BSOD
"Excuse me miss, but you better slow down or we will have to deactive your car"
But officer if I stop, I'll blow up.
"B*ll Sh*t, pull over now!"
Um sorry now
"Damn B*tch"
*pulls out electric pulse gun*
-=erree crashh bang=-
*explosive boom*
"damn guess she was right.... woops"

You must mean the SuperBowl.
What about those times during the day when you're not?
Times when you don't have access to the internet?!??!? what kind of a nerd are you.

Sounds like a cool system you have going there, I'd be interested to see it.
He's got his blog on livejournal, which is not in the effected area, besides LJ is likely not to be affected by a slashdotting.
...they decide to try to destroy the system with more lawsuits rather then finding a better way to use the system to their benefit.

Quick question for you, isn't 2.3 > 2.15 ???
I think the ball would freeze in slightly more time in +5degree weather
Come on tell me you don't want to go surfing on the rings of saturn.
Well at least we can see our tax dollars at work.

So I guess this is what she's going to want on her finger now.

If only I had mod points, this would get +1
there are other pics on the page that seem to show it before it was fully assembled

cool but way over the top
Note to you: POP is for recieving e-mails port 110 while SMTP is for sending outgoing mail port 25 just thought you should get terms right when u rant

That actually seems kind of cool. How did u make it do that? what path command did u use?
