1. Nanodiamonds have unique properties like high hardness, thermal conductivity, and biocompatibility that make them promising for applications in electronics, machinery, energy storage, chemistry, and medicine. 2. A novel laser synthesis technique produces high purity nanodiamonds without graphite or metal impurities at lower cost than traditional explosive detonation methods. 3. Preliminary testing shows laser-produced nanodiamonds can increase thermal conductivity of epoxy resin by 16 times, increase battery life by 80%, and are safer for in vivo applications than detonation nanodiamonds.
