Diamonds could be the ‘crown jewel’ in future electronics

Dr Dongchen Qi from the QUT Centre for Materials Science.

Diamonds could be everyone’s best friend with new research unlocking hidden properties for next-generation electronics.

Dr Dongchen Qi from the QUT Centre for Materials Science led research that transformed the intrinsically inert diamond into a powerful semiconductor capable of sustaining very high-power and withstanding conditions too extreme for silicon devices.

The discovery could herald future electronics with powerful new properties that will enable next-generation military, aerospace and telecommunications applications.
