Hmm, if we could just brick you into the lab with no door it'd be totally secure.
Of course anything nuclear is very scary. We shipped our proton NMR spectrometer over to Canada for a trade show. Someone spelled out nuclear magnetic resonance and we had all sorts of problems.

Grin, of course unless it's on a gun site it's illegal in the US.

If you run the numbers, it's something like 4x better than copper in lateral spreading, but more than 4x more expensive by volume, so you save absolutely no cost in using it. Plus the copper is solderable. It is thinner, but any application where you don't have 0.3 mm to spare needs a serious thermal redesign, regardless.

A thin sheet of this stuff won't be a very good spreader. The inner area of a chip thermal pad will be shadowed laterally by the rim *and* insulated vertically from the heat sink below by the bad Z conductivity. Just outside of the chip, the carbon junk would have to be clamped to the heat sink from above, to make thermal contact. A block of copper seems like a much better idea.
I think I'll buy some and play with magnets.

Nuclear. This was IBM in the '70s. The most dangerous things we had behind the door were a few wire wrap guns.

Oh, NO! WMDs are legal! We'll have to get Larkin's Senator on that, right away!

I think that there are forms of boron nitride that beat it.

Yeah, you have to buy them on ebay and have them shipped in from the UK or China. At which point it would be a crime to ship any back.

I hope those weren't fully automatic.

Nope, not even stripper clips. The were even muzzle loaders.
