According to foreign media reports, diamond sheets full of small holes may have an important impact on the computing power of the new generation of supercomputers. Scientists from the University of California used existing technology to carve countless nitrogen - filled small holes on large diamond sheets. These nitrogen - filled diamonds can store information in millions of times more than the current silicon chip system, and process information dozens of times faster than the latter.
