press or space slide 3: The edge of a mono molecular blade is a single atom thick, this allows it too slip between atoms slide 5: as the blade makes contact with the armor the edge slips between atoms, at this small of an edge the pressure per square inch is in the millions of pounds and instantly shears through atomic bonds slide 6: as the blade moves deeper the wedge shape begins pushing atoms out of its way slide 7: as it sinks deeper the armor begins to attempt to press back slide 8: mechanical forces from the blade and armor push against eachother but the blade is able to resist slide 9: the blade then shears through the armor requiring a lot less force than it would normally
in the diagram the blade continues getting wider, I just stopped it so I didnt have to move hundreds of dots lol
