I heard some interesting info the other day about CPUs. As everyone is aware they are having trouble with them generating alot of heat at the higher voltages. Well, they were saying that a characteristic of diamonds is that they can conduct huge amounts of current without generating much heat. This never mattered much because the cost made using them a bad idea. They now have a artificial diamond made using nano technology that has all the properties of a real diamond and they said that this would alow them to use almost 100 times as much current and generate the same amount of heat.
