Fuck deBeers
The article shows the diamonds are around 200nm in size.
While not enough for jewelry, this is great for industrial applications, like abrasive grinding wheels or diamond tipped saw blades
I cant wait for all circular saw blades to be diamond.
Trying to size that: That's 0.2 micrometers. Fine sand is 75 micrometers to 425 micrometers.
(1000 micrometers = 1 millimeter)
