"Diamond is not only the hardest substance known, it also has the highest thermal conductivity." Higher than gold? Surprising if true, which I doubt.

I take it back. Amazing:
317 W/m-K gold
2200 W/m-K diamond

Higher [thermal conductivity] than gold? Surprising if true, which I doubt.Yep, much higher than gold. And if you make diamond out of all C12 isotopes it gets even better.
for electron pushers this is a VERY BIG DEAL.
If we could just dope it for N-type, we'd be all set!

True; much higher about 5 times, I googled it with "thermal conductivity+diamond"
