Why the Next Generation of EVs May Run on Diamond, Not Silicon
For decades, the automotive industry has quietly evolved into one of the world’s hungriest semiconductor consumers. Today, a modern vehicle houses anywhere between 1,000 and 3,500 semiconductor components, and that number swells further in fully electric vehicles (EVs). Batteries, power inverters, fast-charging modules, onboard computers, and autonomous driving systems all rely on chips—not just for intelligence, but for energy management. And in the electrification era, energy efficiency is range.
Diamond Blankets Will Keep Future Chips Cool
Today’s stunning computing power is allowing us to move from human intelligence toward artificial intelligence. And as our machines gain more power, they’re becoming not just tools but decision-makers shaping our future.
Lab-grown diamond coatings shown to prevent mineral scale in industrial pipes
A new study by Rice University engineers shows that lab-grown diamond coatings could resolve the issue, providing an alternative to chemical additives and mechanical cleaning, both of which offer only temporary relief and carry environmental or operational downsides.
Quantum Diamond Microscopy Unveiled at ESTIC Can Help Neuroscience & Materials Research
