Carbanot Superdiamonds - the new conductor
I heard about this on the science channel last weekend. I wanted to learn more about the super diamonds and the carbonot diamond found in meteorites. Apparently they conduct light, and energy far more efficiently then what we have already. The wall has just been shaping them into something we can use. Carbonot ( i may be miss-spelling it.) is apparently separated enough due to lack of pressure at formation to be cut and reassembled into a structure useful enough to be incorporated into our technology. Anyway, that's we're the facts get vague. I'm bringing up this topic to see if anyone else can find anything. This would truly be an exciting breakthrough.

There are a lot of programs about the strengths of carbon on the Discover and History Channels. Modern Marvels did a show dedicated to carbon.

This is similar to the video i saw, only the new diamond was formed at 0 pressure. Ill keep digging. Last edited by punyhuman; 03-07-2009 at 01:32 PM. |

carbonado diamonds is the correct name! Heres a link to the article discussing diamonds.
http://74.125.47.132/search?q=cache:...lnk&cd=1&gl=us and a wikipedia link on Carbonado http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Carbonado more candy http://www.experiencefestival.com/polycrystalline Unfortunately i cant find the video i saw on carbonado wafers vs silicon and copper wafers. It stayed much cooler than copper under high applied voltages, and could be manufactured smaller and thinner than the silicon wafers. They ended the video mentioning the next step, trying to form carbonado into transistors. The other exciting step to this is how they are trying to grow these in the lab the way they grow synthetic diamonds in the other video i posted. However, they want to try to grow them in the form of transistors... Last edited by punyhuman; 03-08-2009 at 12:51 PM. |
