“Top-down” diamond patterning methods, such as reactive ion etching, are difficult given the material’s chemical inertness.

Inspired by the Japanese art of kirigami, an MIT team has designed a technique that could transform flat panels into medical devices, habitats, and other objects without the use of tools.

Overheating is one of the biggest problems facing modern electronics, from smartphones to powerful data centers. Now, researchers at Rice University have developed a new way to grow patterned diamond ...
