Chinese researchers turn diamonds into good conductors of electricity | Scientists used graphene, another form of carbon, but a good conductor of electricity to transform their new diamonds into conductors.


Scientists used graphene, another form of carbon, but a good conductor of electricity to transform their new diamonds into conductors.

Diamonds, the hardest known naturally occurring material, are a good conductor of heat but cannot conduct an electrical charge. Now, a collaboration of researchers from institutes such as the Zhengzhou University, Henan Academy of Sciences, Ningbo University, and Jilin University have successfully developed diamonds that are capable of conducting electricity, the South China Morning Post (SCMP) reported.
