Can turn peanut butter into diamond

During the study of the earth's material, German scientists unknowingly discovered the secret that could help humans make diamonds from peanut butter.

Understanding the formation of diamonds in the ground can help us better understand the evolution of life on earth. So a German research group is conducting tests to make diamonds from carbon dioxide (CO ₂ ) and peanut butter, the BBC reported.

Dan Frost, a scientist at Bayerisches Geoinstitut, Germany tries to create an environment like a shell downstairs, thousands of kilometers from the earth's surface. After that, he crushed rocks under extremely high pressure. That method helps Frost discover how to make completely new diamonds.

"Before we want to know how the earth is formed, we have to know what kind of material has created the earth , " Frost said.

Many geologists said that the earth was born like meteorites in the galaxy. However, most falling meteorites contain a much higher proportion of silicon than the earth's crust. So where are those meteorites? Researchers guess they sink to the floor below the earth's crust.

To answer the question, Frost uses a powerful press to crush small pieces of crystal in a furnace at a pressure higher than atmospheric pressure 280,000 times. The purpose of this is to create an environment similar to the lower layer of the earth's crust, about 800 - 900 km from the surface, the crystals are rearranged with a denser structure.

Later, he continued to crush newly formed minerals so that they resembled the material under the earth's crust. Frost lets sound waves pass through crystals and compare to see if the material he creates is like a component in the lower layer of the earth's crust.

The results show that the lower silicon rate is also lower than that of meteorites. However, the process of using high pressure created a kind of water-absorbing magnesium . That fact made Frost doubt that a series of geological processes could separate CO ₂ from the ocean, penetrate the rock and penetrate the Earth's crust. Here, they transform into diamonds.

The high pressure of the earth's crust turns CO ₂ in rock into iron-rich minerals, separating oxygen and forming diamonds. However, this process takes place for a long time. To make a diamond 2 - 3mm in length, it took him several weeks.

Frost continues to study the ability to make diamonds from peanut butter - a carbon-rich substance - in the same way.

'We made peanut butter turned into diamonds. However, after that, hydrogen escapes a lot, so the experiment failed. '
