The array ofdiamond created was smooth and adhered very easily to metal. Because diamond is durable, itmakes a very good candidate for coating artificial hip replacements. The current coatings weardown or loosen from constant use after about 10 years, which could mean more surgery for therecipient. The diamond coating is projected to last around 40 years which would improve thecomfort and health of the patient.Liguore Laboratories would like to expand our product line to include diamond coatings for hipjoints.

Some have focused on the type of people who are interested andsuccessful in STEM: since biased representations of STEM professionals generally portray themas white and male, educators have attempted to change these portrayals by spotlighting thediversity that already exists in the field [23], [24]. Other stereotypes pigeonhole STEM careers asthose that focus excessively on laboratory work and mechanical tinkering, overlooking both thesocial
