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

@Felthry Is it odd that I knew all of this despite it being so far out of my areas of expertise it' might as well be an unknown? -Alice
@squirrellilly no it's good to know random neat things!!

this is why we have diamond heatsinks
@Felthry I didn't know about boron arsenide!
@Felthry Huh neat!
