Summary:

By Express News ServiceCHENNAI: A Chennai based tech start-up has developed a technology that can be used in Indian hypersonic missiles during their re-entry into Earth’s atmosphere. So, diamond coatings act as heat-spreaders in electronic devices and find applications in space technology. Defence establishments of many countries have been working on heat dissipation issues, which pose a major hurdle to aero-dynamic stability of missiles upon re-entry. Heat dissipation made effectiveThe usage of diamond is substantiated by its thermal conduction property, which is 5 times that of copper. Diamond coatings can act as heat spreaders in electronic devices and in space technology applications..
