In this episode, Marty Hurwitz discusses the topic of lab-grown diamonds. He shares his background in the jewellery industry and how he became involved in the research and development of lab-grown diamonds. Marty explains the two methods of growing diamonds in the lab: high-pressure heat treatment (HPHT) and carbon vapour deposition (CVD). He also discusses the disruption that lab-grown diamonds have caused in the diamond industry, highlighting their environmental sustainability and cost-effectiveness. Marty explores the various applications of lab-grown diamonds, including in semiconductors, quantum computing, and medical imaging. He concludes by discussing the future of lab-grown diamonds and their potential to replace mined diamonds.

Lab-grown diamonds have disrupted the diamond industry by offering a more environmentally sustainable and cost-effective alternative to mined diamonds.

Lab-grown diamonds can be grown using two methods: high-pressure heat treatment (HPHT) and carbon vapour deposition (CVD).

Lab-grown diamonds have a wide range of applications beyond jewellery, including in semiconductors, quantum computing, and medical imaging.

The future of lab-grown diamonds looks promising, with a potential shift away from mined diamonds and increased research and development in various industries.
