DST Publications
Diamond possesses an amazing range of extreme properties. New diamond technologies, which exploit these properties, have the potential to revolutionise society through transformative breakthroughs in electronics & devices, geophysics, manufacturing, measurement & sensing, theory & computation, medical, biophysics & biochemistry, optics & photonics and quantum technologies.
To make the greatest leaps, properties must be exploited in combination, not in isolation. This requires multi-disciplinary trained scientists capable of working across scientific boundaries.
