cover looks awesome. every little detail is there. I especially like the raised epoxy BMW roundel and lines. Though it would better if it Continue reading
Why is Carbon Fiber light and strong?
Carbon Fiber is composed of carbon atoms by more than 90%. These carbon atoms are lighter than any metal atoms.

Diamond is the hardest and strongest material in the world, whereas it is known that graphite is soft and slippery. The reason for this difference is Continue reading
