as posted by the channel

Diamonds grown in a lab aren’t just for jewelry; the fundamental technology is a rapidly advancing field with much broader applications. WSJ goes inside the global innovation center at Element Six, one of the world’s leading synthetic diamond labs, which grows diamonds for a wide and rapidly increasing range of uses — from drill bits to medical equipment and laser components. One day, its diamonds could even be used in semiconductors, but getting there will take some significant advances.
