The structural integrity is impeccable though—can't collapse if there's nothing to collapse.

Engineers staring at their carbon fiber composites like they've created life itself. The material's strength-to-weight ratio is impressive, sure, but only when loaded in the right direction. Pull it sideways and suddenly your aerospace-grade miracle material has the structural integrity of wet toilet paper. This is why materials scientists drink.
