Diamond computer chips running at 100-GHz have been demonstrated by Akhan Semiconductor. They are currently using design rules in the 100s of nanometers. Developers are focusing on power applications ...

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. When you ...

Data centers squander vast amounts of electricity, most of it as heat. The physical properties of diamond offer a potential solution, researchers say. Data centers squander vast amounts of electricity ...

Back in 2011, the world held its breath after the Fukushima Daiichi nuclear plant in Japan suffered a failure of its cooling systems, in the wake of the country getting hit by a 9.0 magnitude ...

What just happened? Akash Systems, an Oakland-based startup, has landed a preliminary deal with the US government for major funding under the CHIPS Act. The company, which is developing diamond-based ...

MICROCHIPS made of synthesised diamond, instead of silicon, have come a step closer, opening up the possibility of building rugged chips that will work in environments that would fry silicon ...

MICROCHIPS made of diamond have come a step closer after engineers succeeded in making the material into a semiconductor. Diamond chips could be invaluable in radar and satellite transmitters, as they ...

Silicon Valley may soon have to change its name. A team of scientists led by Matthias Schreck of the University of Augsburg in Germany has developed a crystalline diamond film that could produce more ...

Scientists have inched closer to integrating diamonds into silicon-based computer chips, after lowering the temperatures ...
