The amazing diamond revolution in Russia

Russian scientists have learned how to make ultra-thin diamonds. Building on that carbon nanostructures will produce a new generation of electronics that is much more reliable and durable.

Diamond chips are better than standard silicon chips: they contain more information, no heat and no damage.

That is the scientific work, is the project of scientists of the National Technical University "Leti" in St. Petersburg. They have developed in the laboratory microfilm diamond film - nano diamond, or diamond super smooth .

This technology is still kept secret. However, one thing is well known: this technology has a great future. The field of application of nano-diamonds can be all electronic devices - from simple devices such as cell phones to complex devices like supercomputers.

Diamond chips have many advantages: they are not hot, can be used longer and contain more data. "Engineers working with supercomputers will be especially pleased with this technology," said physicist "Leti" Yuri Avdeev, in which case the supercomputer would be worthy of its name. .

Nanoparticles with desired properties can be successfully used as adsorbents, catalysts, pharmaceuticals. Ultra-thin diamond membrane can be used in galvanized, galvanized, and even gold-plated technologies. Nanoparticles can significantly improve the mechanical properties of coatings, increasing the resistance to corrosion.

"Leti" experts say, when microwaves can increase the diameter of the membrane by at least ten centimeters - it will be a real breakthrough. It is possible to put this technology on a commercial scale. And it will be a real revolution in the electronics industry.
