One I missed – poly crystalline diamond heat spreader

A polycrysalline diamond heat spreading material with thermal conductivity many times that of copper was introduced by De Beers subsidiary Element Six in 2019, and missed it. This is far from the only similar material to exist, but this one has the highest thermal conductivity of anything that Element Six has released commercially:  2,200W/m.K (Wm-1K-1, written ...
