apparently it's not as commonly known as we'd thought that diamond is actually an absurdly good thermal conductor, so now you know that too!

few things are known that have a higher thermal conductivity than diamond, among them are graphene and, as long as the crystal is relatively defect-free (which is actually *really difficult*), boron arsenide
