Scientists have used a new technique to synthesize diamonds at normal, atmospheric pressure and without a starter gem, which could make the precious gemstones easier to grow in the lab.
Carbon, compressed hard enough it becomes diamond, forms a square crystal lattice that is so crazy stable that it’s very resistant to change (including from burning).
At around 1700f, yeah. Silicone burns at around half that, so it would be an improvement regardless.
Ah, I just assume as it was carbon it would still be quite low (relatively)

Just like humans are basically just trees, because they’re both carbon based lifeforms, right?
Na, we are bags of water for the purposes of most approximations
