Summary

One company known as AKHAN semiconductor is working on using one of the worlds strongest minerals to coat smartphone screens. They want to use man made diamonds grown in labs to develop a stronger and more shatterproof screen. They are experimenting with ways to heat, cool, and re-arrange the bonds of the diamonds. Creating the diamonds are also proving to be challenge due to how they need to be at very specific temperatures. Changes in temperature can easily occur. Though the founder of AKHAN semiconductors, Adam Khan claims he can create a synthetic diamond film, other people are still skeptical due to all the problems making and heating diamonds is causing.
