After 25 years of intensive research, physicists at the University of Augsburg have succeeded in the synthesis of a single crystal diamond disc, which even compares favourably to the Queen’s crown jewels when it comes to sample area. In the renowned magazine Scientific Report they reported on their spectacular results and the long journey that has led to this success.

Diamonds are neither rare nor extremely valuable, big ones are usually better off being cut up.

Synthetic diamonds are harder than natural ones:

"In May 2015, a record was set for an HPHT colorless diamond at 10.02 carats. The faceted jewel was cut from a 32.2-carat stone that was grown within 300 hours."

I am assuming this will be used for industrial purposes, like most synthetic diamonds?
