 CUBANE 
C8H8 (They C me H8ing) 

PROS

• I like cubane
  
• Cube
  
• Very good at storing energy due to all those H-Bonds BUT very stable H-Bonds (another reason it's horrible to make) Cubane is your FRIEND. It is not Azoazide it cannot hurt you. It wants to release energy (relatively) SLOWLY
  

CONS

• Extremely hard to synthesise due to molecular geometry hating right angles.
  
• You can't just like, put 8u of Hydrogen and 8u of carbon together and go "hey look its Cubane"
  
• Broke my boy Explosions & Fire over a course of 3 years.
  

How would we make it in game?

• Option one: Bromine (3) + Hydrogen (1) + Carbon (1) + Pentetic acid (1 >) -> (waste product that kills you) Cycling Pentetic Acid (3) + Nitric Acid (1) + Sulfuric acid (1) -> (waste product that offgasses and kills everyone) Broken Carbonicycle(1) + Lithium(1) + Dimethylamine (1) cooled to 80k  -> (waste product that looks like tar) Cutebane(1) + Potassium (6) + Hydrogen (6) + Chlorine (6) heated to 500kish - > A D6 dissolved in solution (1) + Holy water (6) -> Cubane (1)
  

• The other option: generates naturally in Engineers when the ptl is over 1PW.
  

What would it do? 
Doused onto SMES units/APCs/Cells: enhances their total capacity in the same way GHC does for pressure thresholds on pipes. Automatically gives the RD a (real) Diploma. If 200u is injected an Arcfiend we're absolutely all completely screwed.
