We are talking about amorphous silicon carbide. In amorphous materials, the atoms are not arranged sequentially and rather resemble a random collection. But this does not mean fragility. Amorphous carbide has a tensile strength of 10 GPa.
Try to imagine that you are trying to stretch a piece of electrical tape. To achieve the equivalent of 10 gigapascals, about a dozen passenger cars would have to be suspended from this piece of tape. And only additional load will finally lead to rupture.
In addition, the development is easy to use. The material can be produced in large sheet form, which is convenient for further use in a number of production areas.
