[Trending Now] Amazing Discovery: Turn Your Peanut Butter Into Diamonds! How?

You wouldn't believe what the scientist from Edinburgh University found out and revealed last 2007 that gave clarity to what the alchemists of past centuries had proposed.

If exposed to a high-pressure environment, carbon-based substances like peanut butter can turn into diamonds. 

You've heard it right. The creation of authentic diamonds whether artificial or natural is serious.

The usual process to produce a carbon-bearing material requests a very high pressure that ranges between 45-60 kilobars and a low temperature between approximately 1600-2370F (900-1300C). However, such events occur naturally only in two places. Either from a site of a recent meteorite impact and the lithosphere mantle below stable continental plates.

Scientists from Edinburgh hold onto this replication of these conditions to be achievable. 

An effect called "stilleto heel effect", said by Professor Malcolm McMahon of Centre for Science and Extreme Conditions at Edinburgh University, is produced upon squeezing of peanut better between the tips of two diamonds resulting to the generation of high pressure levels similar to the effects seen during diamond formation. 

This discovery is not done for a purpose of making man mande diamonds solely, but to thoroughly understand or test the balance of these drugs or substances to produce new forms of medications for tropic situations.
