Would you believe creating a diamond out of a famous mexican liquor "the tequila"? Yes! Indeed this was from the "too good to be true" files, from Popular Science. A great new leap for all alchemist.
A team of Mexican scientist have discovered a way to create diamonds out of the famous liquor tequila.
Javier Morales, Luis Apatiga and Victor Castaño of the National Autonomous University of Mexico made an exciting discovery in turning various organic solutions into diamonds. An 80-proof or 40% alcohol had the ideal proportion of ethanol to water to create diamond films.
In order to create and produce diamonds, they process the tequila by evaporating it into vapor and then heated above 1400 degrees Fahrenheit before depositing on silicon or stainless steel trays. The result were diamond films free of impurities.
This diamond fils can be used in several commercial applications, like in optical electrical devices and as cutting tools.
The scientist have bigger plans insight too and they're hoping to find a tequila distiller to provide them with supplies. Tequila drinkers sure find a new competition.
