It is possible to generate a field around a particle which demonstrates sincere power to resist force. Livermore Labs in California is very proud of their latest application of this technology, which includes thousands of lasers focused on the particle. The object of the technology is to provide energy which is actively formulated to mesh the multitude of lasers' energy to arrive in the same space and not get in each others' way.
If enough coherent energy is provided to the shell of an egg, it could repel anything we can throw at it.
This technology will first be used destroy dangerous chemical waste, then nuclear waste, then it will be used to create a controlled nuclear explosion as we pump nuclear material through the stream of energy, then thermonuclear - fusion, which is when we get propulsion systems to cruise the solar system.
They are blindly crawling and someday we will fly.

Carbon nanoterms for tensile strength, and diamond for compression strength.

You're probably looking for carbon nanotubes.
