Navi Material) 4 4 Why Diamond Is the Only Material That Can Keep Up With AI Chips (feat. Navi Material) full e1908c06-8a4b-471c-bb62-19eb557b39e1 https://share.transistor.fm/s/68da64e8 Diamonds aren’t just for jewelry anymore. They’re quietly becoming one of the most important materials in modern technology. Nano diamond is unlocking performance gains that other materials simply can’t match.

In this episode of LGDinTech Insights, Liz sits down with Wenjia Dong, VP of Navi Material, to talk about how nano and micron-scale diamonds are being engineered, classified, and deployed to improve polishing efficiency, surface roughness, thermal management, and product consistency.

From polishing silicon carbide wafers to enabling targeted drug delivery and next-generation heat management, this conversation breaks down why diamond is the only material that can keep up with today’s technology demands and why most people have no idea it’s already happening.

This episode is sponsored by Synova, the creators of Laser MicroJet technology for precision diamond processing. With Synova’s water jet guided laser technology, businesses worldwide can expand their processing capabilities, reduce costs, and achieve superior cutting quality, even when working with the most complex materials.
