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.
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

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
Use metal and artistic value, like this.
And if the pattern is open enough, sun ligh will leave the mark on the skin. It’s one very discreet way to keep the “mark” of who we love, skin deep.
So you mean it might be possible to remove the wedding ring without leaving a mark, making it easier to hide that you’re married?
What I wanted to convey is, if the mesh is fine enough, the pattern can get marked on the skin, leaving an elegant but discreet - shall we call it - love brand behind.
If you’re going to cheat, at least be bold enough about it and keep the wedding band on.
Hehe, yeah I intentionally misunderstood your comment to make a joke…
With my so, we actually talked about getting a ring tattoo instead of an actual ring because of how we both never wear jewellery.
Similar conditions are employed in the method currently used to synthesize 99% of all artificially created diamonds. Called high-pressure and high-temperature (HPHT) growth, this method uses these extreme settings to coax carbon dissolved in liquid metals, like iron, to convert it to diamond around a small seed, or starter diamond.
Cool. I don’t know how expensive this process is right now, but it seems cheaper to do, at least on mass production.
Edit: I wonder if they could make a tether out of this thing.
One problem is that the diamonds grown with this technique are tiny
So the next we need is a way to shrink the women so that they fit.
However, the new method has its own challenges. One problem is that the diamonds grown with this technique are tiny; the largest ones are hundreds of thousands of times smaller than the ones grown with HPHT. That makes them too small to be used as jewels.
Not going to be wearing these any time soon
We have a while to wait before everyone has microdiamonds in their testicles, but one day we’ll get there!
