Everyone always thinks the jewelry when they think of diamonds but I am excited for the prospects of what cheap lab-grown diamonds can do for manufacturing. Diamonds are electrically insulative and yet 10 times more thermally conductive than copper. There are a LOT of industries that would be VERY interested in that.

Hell, it would probably be useful in CPU substrate as well. Instead of silicon semi conductor doping if these could be made precisely enough you could use diamond for the insulation layers and gain that insane heat transfer efficiency to help with avoiding Hotspots. Maybe that's too thin to matter that much not sure

Fuck deBeers

The article shows the diamonds are around 200nm in size.

While not enough for jewelry, this is great for industrial applications, like abrasive grinding wheels or diamond tipped saw blades

I cant wait for all circular saw blades to be diamond.

This just tells me that diamonds are even more worthless.

Folks like de beers hoard diamonds and jack up prices to make folks think they are more rare that what they really are. We gotta stop the cycle and buy lab grown or use an entirely different stone all together. Diamonds are for basic bitches anyhow
