Exploring Physics and Online Shopping for Luxury Diamond-Making Machines
Ars Technica Sheds Light on Luxury Diamond-Making Machines
The history of lab-grown diamonds dates back at least half a century. According to Harvard graduate student Javid Lakha, writing in a comprehensive piece on lab-grown diamonds published in Works in Progress last month, the first successful synthesis of diamonds in a laboratory setting occurred in the 1950s.
Advancements in Diamond-Making Technology
Since then, diamond-making technology has advanced significantly. Today, there are two primary methods for creating lab-grown diamonds: the high-pressure, high-temperature (HPHT) process and chemical vapor deposition (CVD). Both types of machines are now listed on Alibaba, with prices starting at around $200,000, as pointed out by engineer John Nagle.
