Diamond sounds like the last thing you'd want in a computer chip. It doesn't conduct electricity at all but it conducts heat better than almost any material on Earth. That combination of the insulator and heat conductor is something silicon can never be. AND it's exactly what chips need. The thing I found really fascinating is how quickly we are moving on this. There's a company in Japan building the world's first diamond semiconductor factory. It opens this year. Go deeper 👇 🔬 Stanford's brea
