Great Lakes Crystal Technologies: Advancing diamond tech for next-gen electronics

For decades, silicon has been the foundation of modern electronics because it is abundant, relatively affordable, and well suited to the precise control of electrical current that makes computer chips possible. But today’s most advanced systems, from AI hardware to high-power and quantum technologies, are pushing silicon harder than ever, demanding more speed, more power, and operation in hotter, harsher environments. As those demands grow, heat has become a major bottleneck: silicon remains essential, but it does not move heat nearly as well as diamond, making it harder to keep next-generatio
