Russia produces ultra-thin diamond microfilm
Russian scientists have successfully created ultra-thin diamond microfilms to help electronic devices last longer.
This is a project of scientists from the Leti State Electrotechnical University in St Petersburg, Russia, with the development in the laboratory of diamond microfilms - nanodiamonds, or ultrafine diamonds.

Currently, this technology is still kept secret but is expected to develop very well in the future.
The application area of nanodiamonds could be all electronic devices, from simple devices like mobile phones to complex devices like supercomputers.
Diamond chips are better than standard silicon chips with many advantages such as not getting hot, being more durable and holding more data.
Nanodiamonds with their properties can be successfully used as adsorbents, catalysts. Ultra-thin diamond films can be used in plating technology - nickel plating, zinc plating, and even gold plating.
Nanodiamonds can significantly improve the mechanical properties of coatings, increasing corrosion resistance.
According to Leti University experts, when the microscopic diamond particles can increase the diameter of the membrane to at least 10cm, this will be a real breakthrough. At that time, this technology can be brought to a commercial scale and it will be a real revolution in the electronics industry./.
