Why would they make the process known when they could make a fortune by just making diamonds on the cheap?

I saw Superman crush a piece of coal in his bare hands and make it a diamond. He gave it to Lois. Cheapskate.

I’ve never understood the passion for diamonds. I like colored stones.

““chemical vapor deposition” (CVD)”

I hope it works. I spend a fortune on specialty cutters that use CVD technology. It takes a $100 cutter and makes it a $600 cutter.

Using lasers you can actually carve diamonds into desired shapes. Imagine making an artificial blue diamond layer then cutting a face into it. Deposit a clear diamond layer on top of that. Viola! Custom diamond art!

The alien in “The Day The Earth Stood Still” used gems as currency.

“It’s quite evident that this could be used to develop thin coatings of diamond on surfaces, and we use these all the time,” Torben Daeneke, a materials chemist at RMIT University, who wasn’t involved in the study, told Chemistry World.

Diamond tipped chainsaw blades!

I can go through two or three blades a day cutting up downed trees.

A superthin deposition might make for a nice knife edge.

Reminds me of The Twilight Zone episode where a group of crooks stole a bunch of gold bars and put themselves into suspended animation for a hundred years. When they awoke they fight amongst themselves and all die in the desert. One of the crooks offers a couple traveling down the highway the gold bars to give him a ride before he dies. The couple is amazed the crook believes the gold is worth anything since they are now able to produce gold.
