My skeptical eye didn't find a single issue to distrust.
Sure, there's a bit of whimsy—the idea that a diamond crystal that couldn't be made to stay intact for a whole second, even, might someday be a jewel—but there weren't any claims to worry about.
In truth, my biggest worry is the junk ads about food not to fed your dog. They're bottom-fishing here. But the story itself looks O.K.

Very interesting article about a lab-made diamond, comparing the aspects that made natural diamonds so unique, until now. I'm curious to see how much this fabricated one will cost.

A very interesting look at how new science could create an even stronger diamond structure, which would have many different applications as the now strongest/hardest material known to mankind.
