This manuscript investigates the theoretical properties of one-dimensional mag-carbon polymers, specifically mag-carbyne, as a lighter-weight alternative to the previously studied mag-carbon nanotubes (mag-CNTs). While mag-CNTs exhibit unparalleled absolute strength, their substantial linear mass density ($\approx 12.8 \text{ kg/m}$) presents a challenge for mass-critical applications. This work explores if a 1D polymer analogue can offer a superior strength-to-weight ratio. By applying a rigorously derived, carbon-specific scaling methodology to carbyne, theoretically the strongest 1D material, we calculate the properties of its magmatter counterpart. ...

This manuscript theoretically investigates the properties of mag-carbon nanotubes, building upon the recently refined understanding of magnetic monopole matter (magmatter) as a material forming stable crystal lattices. By deriving a new carbon-specific strength scaling factor of $5.60 \times 10^{38}$, we predict that mag-carbon nanotubes will exhibit a linear mass density of approximately $12.8 \text{ kg/m}$ and a theoretical tensile strength of $5.60 \times 10^{49} \text{ Pa}$. These calculations yield an unprecedented specific strength of $2.87 \times 10^{14} \text{ N} \cdot \text{m/kg}$ and a breaking length exceeding $2.93 \times 10^{13} \text{ m}$. Such properties suggest mag-carbon nanotubes could serve as a foundational material for revolutionary engineering feats, including single-stage space elevators and the construction of colossal megastructures. This study underscores magmatter’s potential to redefine material science, acknowledging the need for further research into its behavior under extreme gravitational potentials and the implications for large-scale structural design. ...
