China's HIT Develops Advanced Lab-Grown Diamond Technology
Researchers at the Harbin Institute of Technology (HIT) have developed a technology capable of producing high-purity, single crystal diamonds of various shapes and sizes. This innovation, led by Zhu Jiaqi and his team from HIT's School of Astronautics, was highlighted when 187 newlywed doctoral student couples received one-carat lab-grown diamond rings at the university's 11th group wedding on May 31. The technology theoretically allows for the creation of diamonds ranging from wedding jewelry to large wafers, potentially as wide as a basketball.
On May 31, the Harbin Institute of Technology (HIT) hosted its 11th group wedding ceremony for doctoral students. During the event, each of the 187 newlywed couples received a one-carat diamond ring.
These diamonds were cultivated in the university's own laboratory, showcasing a new technological advancement. The development was led by Zhu Jiaqi and his team from HIT's School of Astronautics.
The technology is theoretically capable of producing high-purity, single crystal diamonds. These diamonds can be crafted into any shape and size, from small pieces suitable for wedding jewelry to larger structures, such as a wafer potentially as wide as a basketball.
According to the South China Morning Post, this development highlights the institute's progress in advanced material science.
