So I was reading about the recent advances with q carbon and the ability to use laser pulses to turn amorphous carbon into diamond dots, needles, or single crystal films.

I couldn't help but wonder if this would be a possible implant coating in the next few years. Would diamonds be biosafe?

Thoughts?

    you can grow diamonds already using a modified microwave. No need for lasers unless you want to keep the substrate cool
