Aggregated diamond nanorods is the hardest material, carbon nanotube have highest tensile strength. But I dont know if it is tougher than steel? I mean the most amount of energy a material absorbs before rupturing?

So, what is the toughest material? And pls give some examples of tough material!!!

The video shows a (5,5) carbon nanotube being pulled through a special plane that shows the electrostatic potential of everything near a bounded region of the plane. Positive electrostatic potential is shown as red, and negative as blue. Simulated using D. Brenner’s REBO potential and Sandia’s quantum chemistry code inside the NanoHive-1 Nanosystems Simulator (www.nanohive-1.org).
