Diamond vs Graphite (Donald Sadoway, MIT)

MIT Professor Donald Sadoway, Dept. Materials Science and Engineering, explains the variant properties of diamond and graphite due to their difference in electronic structure.

This video was taken from his class "3.019 Introoduction to Solid State Chemistry" which can be found at:

His handwriting alone is making my mouth water. Those "C"'s are so delicious. So Smooth with the pure chalk white on that contrasting black background.

I'm doing IGCSE Chemistry which is like nowhere to what he is teaching, but i can actually understand most of the things he's saying! he's a good professor!

[MrSniperscope]

i want to eat that chalk...

[EnviroNika]

I wish we have more teachers like that :))

diamond is the strongest natural material however carbon could be formed into carbon nanotubes the strongest synthetic material and strongest material know to man

SWEET, soon we will have perfect diamond glass for optics.

I use a SLR so yeah a piece of perfect glass wont hurt (to have, not to hit some one)))

wow,he explains really superb,i want to go to tution in his house....!! i am in 12th professor.u helped me a lot.thanks....!! :)

@galaxymilkyway

i feel for you

[boyofwax]

Wow this is good!

so what will replace silicone for semiconducters going forward?what is the better choice,price aside .does the discovery of graphine mean that diamond semiconductor research will be obsolete?what is better for packing the most transistors on a cpu?which can make a cpu that can operate at highest tempature?
