Previously, when they first reported the material in 2021, I think? https://feng.mech.utah.edu/wp-content/uploads/sites/152/2022...

Still only half the thermal conductivity of diamond. But pretty awesome nonetheless! I hope it's easy to make.

Yes, that is a thing.

Also fabricating integrated circuits on a diamond substrate.
