How lab-grown diamond is used in electronics: heat spreaders, substrates and sensors, why its properties suit the job, and what still limits wider adoption.
What biocompatibility means, why carbon materials such as diamond, graphite-like films and carbon fiber are studied for medical use, and why testing is still needed.
How diamond edges and grit surfaces are used in scalpels, knives and dental burs, why hardness helps in care settings, and where the limits and trade-offs lie.
An overview of how lab-grown diamond is used or studied in medicine, from cutting instruments and coatings to sensors, with a clear line between established and experimental.
Why wear and tissue tolerance matter for implants, how diamond coatings and bearing surfaces are being studied, and what remains unproven for long-term use in patients.
How diamond blades and core bits cut concrete, stone and asphalt, why synthetic diamond grit and metal bonds are used, and the safety and cost points that matter.
