Turn Tequila Into Diamond?
Serious?
MEXICO CITY (AFP) — Mexican scientists have turned the country’s national tipple tequila into diamonds, and are seeking applications for their discovery, with the crystals too small to be used in jewelry.
The tequila diamonds could be used to “detect radiation, coat cutting tools or, above all, as a substitute for silicon in the computer chips of the future,” Miguel Apatiga, one of three researchers from the National Autonomous University of Mexico who made the discovery this summer, told AFP Tuesday.
The scientists found that the heated vapor from tequila blanco, when deposited on a stainless steel base, can form diamond films.
