Time to throw away the Diamond saw blades soon!

In my nightly geek reading, I came upon an interesting article and quickly identified a group of people who would be interested in said reading material. A lab has created a material roughly ten times as stiff as diamonds. Would be kinda fun to have a dremel attachment of this stuff.
Here you go!

Wonder how cost effective it will be over diamond blades...hmm?

Interesting article.

From what I picked up the material does react to temperature changes. Wonder what the reaction is to the heat generated as a result of friction that would be produced when cutting minerals and gems?
