Diamonds From Tequila!

The instrumental "Tequila" is still very popular today and was originally introduced back in 1958 by the Band Champs .


Now comes the news that scientists have discovered a new method to manufacture a type of synthetic diamond from Tequila!

The Times of India reports that Researchers at the University of Nueva Leon near Monterrey in Mexico found that when the Mexican spirit is heated under pressure, it produces diamond structures, which are able to conduct electricity. The crystals, used to make diamond film, have previously been made from a number of different chemicals, often including nitrogen.


However, this experimental attempt is believed to be the first time that researchers have proven that any type of alcohol can be used to produce synthetic diamond.


Diamond film is tougher than silicon, so it could be useful for devices that must operate at high temperatures or under other harsh conditions.


However, diamond films are expensive and difficult to make. Now, researchers from Mexico have shown that the crystals can be created by heating the country's national drink.


For the experiment, the researchers heated 80% proof 'tequila blanco', which has a short aging process and is bottled soon after distillation, in a low-pressure chamber. The drink formed into crystals which tests later confirmed had a diamond structure and were able to conduct electricity.


Imagine: Some years from now you diamond engagement ring may be Tequila derived.


Now that's something good to which we can drink a toast!


L'Chaim!!

The Zune concentrates on being a Portable Media Player. Not a web browser. Not a game machine. Maybe in the future it'll do even better in those areas, but for now it's a fantastic way to organize and listen to your music and videos, and is without peer in that regard. The iPod's strengths are its web browsing and apps. If those sound more compelling, perhaps it is your best choice.

The new Zune browser is surprisingly good, but not as good as the iPod's. It works well, but isn't as fast as Safari, and has a clunkier interface. If you occasionally plan on using the web browser that's not an issue, but if you're planning to browse the web alot from your PMP then the iPod's larger screen and better browser may be important.

Excellent examples and suggestions

I agree that Meridith and the New York Public Library are the greatest of 2009. My Small Pony, not a lot. Even so, th is was a strong roundup of finest and worst, however.

If I may well --perhaps you should think about adding some images. I dont mean to disrespect what youve said; its very enlightening, indeed. Even so, I think would respond to it a lot more positively if they could be some thing tangible to your ideas. Maintain it up, but put a bit more into it next time.

Have you ever thought about adding just a little bit far more than just your thoughts? I mean, what you say is crucial and every little thing. But its got no punch, no pop! Maybe if you added a pic or two, a video? You could have such a far more powerful blog should you let people SEE what youre talking about rather than just reading it.

This is among the most extraordinary blogs Ive read in a quite lengthy time. The quantity of data in here is stunning, like you practically wrote the book on the subject. Your blog is excellent for any person who wants to recognize this subject more. Fantastic stuff; please keep it up!

Can I make a suggestion? I believe youve got some thing very good here. But what if you added a couple links to a page that backs up what youre saying? Or possibly you could give us some thing to take a look at, something that would connect what youre saying to something tangible? Just a suggestion.

I dont truly know what youre talking about here. This cant be the only way to think about this can it? It appears like you know a great deal about the subject, so why not explore it far more? Make it much more accessible to everyone else who might not agree with you? Youd get a lot more men and women behind this in case you just stopped generating general statements.

Wow, what a blog! I mean, you just have so a lot guts to go ahead and tell it like it can be. Youre what blogging needs, an open minded superhero who isnt afraid to tell it like it can be. This is undoubtedly something individuals must be up on. Great luck in the future, man.

This is undoubtedly a weblog that folks need to get behind. The difficulty is, nobody wants to do an excellent deal of reading and not have something else to stimulate the mind. This will be the world wide web, following all. Maybe in case you added a video or two to emphasise your point. Ill stick around, FOR Sure. But, I dont know if others will.

All I want to say is, yes! Yes! Yes! Youre so right. I want to get behind this so much. You speak with so much authority, so significantly spirit, I feel as though youve certainly hit the nail on the head. Good job with this. Please keep brining us a lot more simply because we require much more of your sort of blogger.

Between me and my husband we've owned more MP3 players over the years than I can count, including Sansas, iRivers, iPods (classic & touch), the Ibiza Rhapsody, etc. But, the last few years I've settled down to one line of players. Why? Because I was happy to discover how well-designed and fun to use the underappreciated (and widely mocked) Zunes are.
