Magmatter "atoms" are much smaller than atoms of ordinary matter; for this reason, magmatter is much denser. Because of the much higher binding energy holding the atoms together, magmatter is also much stronger than ordinary matter and has other useful properties. However, through the difficulties associated with its manufacture and use, and because of "[safety issues concerning close proximity of monopoles to normal matter":](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Proton_decay), almost all of its pertaining technologies can only be directly handled by beings of augmented sophontsce."~% [/bq]

""Diamondoid"":[](https://orionsarm.com/eg-article/464b9c37d9887) materials are extensively used for building purposes, as they are strong under tension, and under compression; pure diamond itself is brittle, but aggregate materials are both stronger and more flexible. Examples of diamondoid include pure diamond (in particular nanoassembled perfect crystalline diamond), ""Adamant"":[](https://orionsarm.com/eg-article/4603269077db9), graphene, "[carbon nanotubes":](https://orionsarm.com/eg-article/46cce50416388) (+ "[self-healing polyfilaments":](https://orionsarm.com/eg-article/4703b764bcd62)), "[aggregated carbon nanorods":](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Aggregated_diamond_nanorod), ""pandifico"":[](https://orionsarm.com/eg-article/4865aa36cefe5), and diamondoid "[computronium":](https://orionsarm.com/eg-article/4637faafa6437."~) [/bq]

In appearance, it is a dull black, and typically formed into threads, cables, sheets, or cylinders. Upon application of a voltage, the ultimate muscle will either contract or expand, depending on the variety (some ultimate muscle types only contract under voltage, some expand, and some can do either)."~

> ^"The pressure or tension of ultimate muscle is near the limit of the strength of chemical bonds, commonly exceeding 20 GPa. Since ultimate muscle can exceed the yield strength of many common structural materials, machines made from ultimate muscle can push or rip through steel, rock, concrete, and sapphiroid. High strength carbon and carbon/nitrogen/boron materials can typically resist direct pressure from ultimate muscle, but suitable concentration of force often allows these materials to be defeated."^[/bq]

Energy is stored by the flywheels in the form of angular momentum. To effectively eliminate gyroscopic effects, the flywheels are free-floating within their enclosures. These flywheels are suspended in high-purity vacuum by magnetic bearings and have spin generated by 'touchless' inductance motors, which double as no-contact generators when power is drawn out of them. The matrix itself can be transported safely until the energy is required, then the angular momentum of the flywheels can be extracted and used, often by the generation of electrical power. Although the energy content of fully charged nano-flywheel matrix is quite high (on the same order as gasoline), the power density is somewhat lower than other methods of storage; this is because the energy can only be extracted at a relatively slow rate or the matrix will become damaged by overheating.~

This technology is most often used in small independent devices (such as swarm bots) which consume energy constantly and are frequently recharged.^[/bq]
