...past, the remoteness of the area made the finds a moot point. But last year China completed its first rail link to Tibet. The $3.7 billion railway, the world's highest, crosses a 16,500-foot pass and has pressurized cars so that passengers can withstand the altitude. The route also makes moving raw materials from the province, which once would have had to been done by truck over high mountain roads, potentially affordable. "The railway has given this economic reality," says a mining lawyer who asked not to be named. "I mean, they can actually access these places...

...heat, diamond can run processors of supercomputing power at lower temperatures compared with processors using silicon, the industry standard today. The molecular structure of diamond makes it ideal for handling high voltages like those found in switches for big municipal power grids. Physically, diamond's toughness allows it to withstand the searing heat of more sophisticated lasers and even the brutal extremes of temperature and pressure faced by the windows on spacecraft as they leave and re-enter Earth's atmosphere. And diamond's ability to resist corrosion from acids and other organic compounds makes it a good material...
