Diamonds are cool. Not as engagement rings, but as ultra-dense carbon.

They're arguably the hardest known substance in the universe. The only things that might be harder are so rare that their hardness can only be tested in simulations. That makes diamond unequaled for cutting. They also have amazing thermal conductivity. All that from a transparent rock is awesome.

Carbon in general is dope. Nanotubes? Graphene? And it's not even hard to come by? Gtfo.

Yeah but Genghis Khan was also made of carbon and he wasn't cool.
