“The complexity of curves and required thinness could not be duplicated in any other material while still maintaining its ability to support itself completely…”
Usually when I picture carbon fibre, I imagine that monotonous, slate-coloured slab that’s delicately thin but mostly flat — or I picture the Ossur cheetah legs that are curved but only for industrial utility.
I would have never imagined carbon fibre as a ribbon of light.
