Lab Created Diamond Computer Chips

Silicon chips have reached the limit of their capacity to act as a semi-conductor of electricity. “Silicon Chips” according to MIT Professor of material science, Dr. Wuensch states” Will melt into a puddle” at this rate and diamond is the solution to that problem. A modern computer system in the office will generate heat at [100] degrees celsius, enough to heat a small office on a cold day.

This has prompted scientist to discover a replacement material that can handle more electricity with greater conductivity without over heating. This quest set off a world-wide race to take control of the computer and synthetic diamond industry.
