I’m reminded of something I read as a young’un in an ancient Time-Life science book — physics was the topic, as I recall — demonstrating the amazing power of hydrogen bonding. They took a heavy, hollow steel sphere, filled it with water, screwed in a steel plug, then plunged the improvised bomb in a beaker of dry-ice and liquid nitrogen. The “after” picture was impressive.
One of the main problems with computers is that they generate heat as a byproduct of their operations. Diamond based ones will need heavier cooling systems.
