The values suggested are north of the ultimate tensile strength for carbon nanotubes and graphene. It’s in the ballpark of the center of the earth. I don’t thin

The values suggested are north of the ultimate tensile strength for carbon nanotubes and graphene. It’s in the ballpark of the center of the earth. I don’t think it’s as simple as tightening a bolt.
