Title: Peanut butter diamonds
Post by: loulou on June 28, 2007, 11:34:54 pm
Peanut butter is being turned into diamonds by scientists with a technique that harnesses pressures higher than those found at the centre of the earth.
Edinburgh University experts say the feat is made possible by squeezing the paste between the tips of two diamonds creating a "stiletto heel effect".
The scientists also revealed they can turn oxygen into red crystals using the same method.
