Diamonds? Are more than just jewelry!

Diamond is known as the hardest natural material in the world. What is less well known is that it is also the material with the highest thermal conductivity.
We develop very hard and thermally conductive diamond-containing ceramics.
At this stop, you’ll experience diamonds and their unique properties in a whole new way - In hands-on experiments, we show, how diamond-containing ceramics can seemingly melt ice with ease.

Description

Presentation of ceramic-bonded diamond materials.

Diamond is known as the hardest natural material in the world. Less well known is that it also has the highest thermal conductivity of any material.

Fraunhofer IKTS develops ultra-hard, thermally conductive diamond-containing ceramics.

At this station, you can experience the special properties of diamonds in a completely different way. In hands-on experiments, we show, for example, how diamond-containing ceramics can seemingly melt ice with ease.
