Diamonds produced using microwave technology
Other researchers used a diamond formation with the natural way to a totally different way, a process called chemical vapor deposition CVD (chemical vapor deposition), referred to as CVD. Using the CVD technique, scientists can more quickly create a diamond, they also manufacture high-tech equipment that can be used in the diamond film.
In Washington, DC (Washington, DC), the Carnegie Science (Carnegie Institution for Science), researchers have been using CVD for many years, they have a very small diamond "seed" into a container, and smoked the air inside the container, and then filled into the hydrogen gas (hydrogen) and methane (methane), methane containing carbon atoms and hydrogen atoms.
"Then we use the microwave it" in the laboratory, a materials scientist Cholesky (Joe Lai) said. As you use the microwave oven heat food, like home, but the microwave is used here, the power should be larger. Separation of hydrogen and carbon atoms, and form a very bright hot air balloon, carbon atoms and even received a diamond "seed" so that more and more drill.
Carnegie's researchers improved CVD method so that the diamond can grow faster. In 2002, they demonstrated that their method of CVD diamond crystals in the generation time than the original method can be 100 times faster. Researchers to join the team in which the B (boron) the chemical elements, to create a natural diamond even hard than diamond. B no longer makes the expansion of the diamond gap, so the diamonds becomes more difficult to break.
Tattoo, teeth and cell phones
Lab created gem just ring and necklace, for example, the production of supermarket scanner using sapphire, when the cashier needs to know when the price of goods, for example, a box of biscuits, the laser beam irradiated through the sapphire plate to the box The bar codes. No sapphire, this board can easily be worn, and makes the scanner can not work properly.
Ruby is very special, it can produce laser beams. If you put a rod of ruby on the middle of two mirrors, and light it with a strong light, will produce a bunch of ruby red. Ruby laser can help to remove the tattoo, because after the red light to eliminate the skin was the color of the tattoo.
But the most amazing stones may have to be diamonds, because diamonds are hard, they were using the cutting and drilling of rock, if your teeth are destroyed by insects, the dentist will drill with a diamond made into a part of the teeth and began to clear the patch.
Diamond can make the heat conduction through it, so the diamond can keep cool. "I can use the fire equipment, heating diamond, it gets hot, then put it on a piece of metal on the surface, a few seconds later, it is not that hot." Joe. Levin (Joe Lai) said. Its original heat, by conduction to the metal. Diamond is hard, so hard to bend.
"This is the extreme nature of the material," John Charles Castle (John Carlisle), said he is an advanced diamond company (Advanced Diamond Technologies Inc) Romeo in the U.S. Virgin Illinois Chief Technology Officer.
Some properties make diamond a diamond can be applied on mobile phones, today we use cell phones and chat with friends, the Internet and download video. Before you use these things when the phone using a component called the voice filter (acoustic filters). These filters are currently using quartz or ceramic (quartz or ceramic) for the material, each filter in a certain frequency of vibration, so as to make the phone work, and some filters require one billion vibrations per second.
Because diamonds are hard, so it can vibrate rapidly. Researchers are now manufacturing micro-diamond filter, than the width of human hair is still small, these filters allow mobile phone use less power, battery life longer.
Bacteria filter board
Lab-made diamonds in the drinking water assistance to find bacteria, bacteria are very small creatures, we use the eyes can not see, some bacteria can make us sick.
John Charles Castle (John Carlisle) of the Company and the University of Wisconsin-Madison (University of Wisconsin-Madison) and the University of Illinois (University of Illinois) in Champaign (Urbana-Champaign) cooperation studies of micro-sensors, These sensors can detect bacteria, the formation of micro-sensors using diamond diving board, diving boards used to capture bacteria, diving boards were wrapped in molecules that stick to bacteria.
People can put these sensors on the sewage treatment plant or at home in the water, if the bacteria stuck to diving boards will be slower than usual vibration, thus sending an electronic signal to tell people that this water is not suitable for drinking.
If the diving board out with other materials, such as silicon or gold (silicon or gold), molecular capture the bacteria will become invalid after a period of time. However, if the diamond manufacturing, capture molecules can maintain state, so the researchers can maintain the sensor on the water a long period of time.
Lab created diamonds better than natural diamonds for high-tech equipment, because it can more easily obtain the required shape and size of a large number of diamonds. These diamonds can be used in some devices make the blind see, the military radar equipment, sending the secret information can not decode the advanced computer. "It has a 101 to use" John.
