Superfast diamond-laced computer chips now much closer to reality thanks to 'quantum breakthrough'
Scientists have vastly reduced the temperatures and conditions needed to grow special diamonds for computing, making faster and more efficient computing chips a more realistic proposition.
Scientists have inched closer to integrating diamonds into silicon-based computer chips, after lowering the temperatures needed to grow them in the lab and melding the process with quantum mechanics. But to be made in the lab, diamonds also require extremely high temperatures — well beyond the heat computer chips can withstand as they are being manufactured — so they cannot easily be integrated into chipmaking processes. The way atoms bond in diamond makes it well suited for quantum computing, secure communications and highly accurate sensing.
