It seems colleges have found other uses for tequila…
…other than to provide panty dropping power to frat boys around the world.
Scientists at the University of Nueva Leon outside of Monterrey, Mexico have found that tequila can aid in fabricating diamond film which is an excellent semiconductor. Diamonds are normally an insulator for electrical currents, but when laced with the right types of impurities can become a semiconductor. The impurities are formed by films which are expensive and difficult to make. They are normally produced by vaporizing organic material and then controlling how the carbon atoms crystallize on the surface.
The scientists from Mexico found that heated vapor from 80 proof tequila blanco injected into a low pressure chamber created the right type of diamond film with little extra effort.
Who knew tequila could be used for this?
