Diamonds are not just for jewelry. Researchers are finding ways to use diamonds to speed up supercomputers, diagnose disease and store quantum information, among others.

Technique makes use of flaws in crystal structure.

A new way to cut diamonds opens the way to building microscopic machines.

Diamond-based computers would store millions of times more information than your silicon-based system. That's a whole lot of YouTube clips.

Diamonds could soon be measured not only in carats but by dose as well. Research shows nanodiamonds can be swallowed and help diagnose disease.

Researchers have developed the components needed to make microelectronic devices out of nanometer-thick (thin!) films of diamond.
