While we've yet to fully explore Neptune and its fellow gas giants, scientists have a lot of theories about them based on the info we know. For instance, they believe that it rains diamonds on those planets -- diamonds that sink into their interior a...
Scientists already believe that diamonds could be a solid foundation for practical quantum computers. You can use atom-scale defects in diamond to store quantum bits that hold contradictory data (say, both on and off) in a way that lets you read the...
Like many elements of sci-fi, the superweapon in Star Wars' Death Star seems implausible: can you really combine multiple laser beams into one fearsome blast? Apparently, you can... if not quite as dramatically as you see in the movies. Scientists...
Physicists have made a novel material based upon fullerite and single crystal diamond that has a hardness greater than diamond. This methodology can be very useful in the making of very hard...

Take our new favorite droid, add some gold and diamonds and you get this extravagant and tacky BB-8 figure. Hey, why not? This droid is making way more money that that for Disney.
This shiny blinged-out droid was born out of a union between Disney and Kay Jewelers. This 4.25″ tall BB-8 was crafted entirely out of gold and diamonds. So basically we are talking a Star Wars action figure for millionaires. This thing took over 600 hours to make and it weighs a pound and a half. It has over 860 diamonds.
The estimated value is around $135,000(USD). It was made for a good cause though. It will be auctioned off later this month to support St. Jude Children’s Research Hospital.
