Candle flame turned out to contain an abundance of diamonds.This is the finding Wuzong Zhou, scientists from the University of St. Andrews, Scotland, UK, published in ChemicalCommunications Journal this month.
This discovery could be said was not planned. Zhou only meet the challenges of his colleagues who said that no one couldknow the compilers of the candle flame.
"Colleagues said other universities, certainly no one knowsconstituent candlelight. I said, I believe science and can explainall, so I tried to find," said Zhou.
The results were surprising. Apparently there are 1.5 milliondiamond nanoparticles in the flame of a candle every second.Diamond particle size is very small. The composition will produceonly 300 000 particles the size of pin heads.
To find the diamond particles, Zhou developed a filter that can separate particles from the center of the flame temperature of1,400 degrees Celsius, and then evaluate it.
In addition to diamonds, candlelight it also contains four differenttypes of carbon compounds, including graphite, carboncompounds of the type commonly used as raw material for the eye pencil.
The discovery of diamonds in candlelight potentially provide a "land" a new mine to get it. Ring or diamond necklace can be made by burning candles later. "Unfortunately, the diamondparticles burn in the process, producing CO2," said Zhou dashedhopes.
However, he said, this discovery will change the way peoplelooked at the candle flame. He said not to worry, maybe laterthere is research that could provide a solution. What is clear, as quoted by the Daily Mail, Zhou will now examine the firebarbeque, whether it also contains a diamond.
The invention as reminiscent of the chemistry lecture by MichaelFaraday in 1860 in England. He said the flame of a candle has a beautiful gold, silver, and diamonds. It is now understood, there is a diamond in the flame.

Ancient Egyptian civilization was already familiar with hair gel, hair styiling one of the keys of modern life today. This was found after archeologists from the KNH Centre for Biomedical Egyptology at the University of Manchester England, Natalie McCreesh and his colleagues examined the mummies of Ancient Egypt times.
Based on the research, found that hair gel is used to keep hair disordered, both during life and death. McCreesh took 18 samples of mummies.
The oldest mummy 3500 years old, but the average Dakhleh excavated from burial complexes in the Western Desert and Oasis come from Greco Roman period, about 2300 years ago.
Mummified human age varied from 4-58 years. Most humans are artificially mummified while others termumikan naturally with sand that buried him.
Ancient Egyptian conclusion that humans have used the gel was made because the analysis with an electron microscope showed that there are 9 mummy hair coated with fat-like substance misterious.
It was observed by chromatography and mass spectrometry, it is known that the substance contains long-chain fatty acids including palmitic acid and stearic acid. These results were published in the Journal of Arachaeological Science.
Further analysis showed that the substance was found in the mummies were preserved naturally or artificially.
The substance also found in both the mummies of women and men. In the analysis, researchers found no embalming resin and material on the hair, suggesting that the hair is protected and organized separately.
"Maybe they know that hair will not be degraded like other body parts," said McCreesh.
Responding to the conclusions of the study, John Taylor, head of the mummy collection in the British Museum said that the idea that people of Ancient Egypt wore hair gel it's possible. "Hair is a status symbol," he said.
However, so far, the text of the Ancient Egyptians who have analyzed never mentions the use of hair gel, although the use of scented oils and lotions on the body are known. Taylor revealed, "The key now is in the Ancient Egyptian wigs. Hair is sometimes coated with bees wax."
According to Taylor, the wig had been found in tombs from ancient Egypt, estimated to be very expensive and used only a limited circle or respected. "Most of the mummies that I see using real hair," added Taylor as quoted by Nature.
Hair gel is probably bees wax. McCreesh himself said that he did not know whether the hair gel in question are bees wax or not.
However, he said that if it was bees wax, would be very difficult to rinse compared with animal fats. To be sure, the current plan Creesh will further analyze the compounds and to know the recipes for this old-fashioned hair gel.
So far, research shows that with hair gel is, the Ancient Egyptians could make a variety of styles, from short-length, curly or straight, and so on.
Once the fat is used, guaranteed not to change your hair style.Curly will stay curly. "You can imagine how they were when alive, her hair and mengeritingnya," said McCreesh.

If you think a genius is innate and has an IQ well above average, you are wrong. They only managed to use his brain more than the ability of ordinary people.
Virtually all people can develop their thinking skills such as the brain, it only takes a willingness and hard work.
Bill Gates, the Microsoft company owner is also the first among the geniuses say that 99% who created the genius is hard work.
Genius here is not someone who has an IQ well above average, but the genius here is the Expert or experts in their fields
For those of genius, there are only 3 key to their genius, we too can become part of them, with the key will and hard work.
Secret 1
The genius can find its own way to master the things that have not been in kuasainya. The genius creates self-study method is best suited to them. If you do not master a subject, they will find out the most efficient way to learn it.
They continue to try (they never stop trying, if not managed) until they can master who wants mastered. If it fails with one method, they will try other methods.
Secret 2
The geniuses have the motivation was "very, very, very big!" to master what is the interest. Sometimes they are willing to sacrifice many things for the sake of that interest.
This is the story of one of Bill Gates the richest man on earth, Bill Gates is a smart person. That's for sure. If it is not smart, he would not be able to enter Harvard University, which is the best university in the world. But he came out.
The reason: "I want to do more." Apparently, he did not want to just be smart. He wanted to be a genius.
He was conscious, continue reducing his time in college will explore computer software which is very interested. In his confession, he had not slept for days when it completed its first software.
Secret 3
They are geniuses have a clear vision of the future, concrete and measurable. When asked what he wanted in the future, they will respond fully to the details.
"10 years from now, I will become an entrepreneur whose products are teak furniture hold throughout Europe. Employees of more than 500 people. Omsetnya more than 50 billion." That vision of a great entrepreneur.
So, what do you think?You can be a genius in any field of interest, if you think and has the character of a genius. And, three's the secret. Only three.
A simple way to be a genius. If the third secret was your grasp and you make as your secrets, too. So here's a simple way evoke the figure of genius in you:
When you want to know something, tell yourself: "The other side of what this is, what's behind it?"
When an answer comes, continue to ask those questions again.
The Things That Can Help you Achieve "Inner Genius"-mu
Once you know things about the genius and knows how to raise it, now is the time to know what things that could help to evoke "the genius" within you.
Sleep enough
Lho kok even sleep, instead of training the mind should be kept awake? Apparently not. Sleep after learning actually increase the brain's ability to remember.
When falling asleep, our brains actually work hard to sort through important information for us, so the ability to strengthen our memory. But this applies only to sleep more than 6 hours.
That's why learning credits system (system of racing last night) is not recommended because it only weakens the ability of our thinking and memory skills.
So, langsunglah sleep at least 6 hours after study at night. That way, your learning will give maximum results.
Physical exercise
Plenty of physical activity such as walking, sports games, gymnastics, or whatever. Doing a lot of physical activity shown to improve brain thinking ability.
Eating enough
Eating less will make you do not have the energy to think smart, but too much eating will also make your brain become less intelligent. Eat in moderation and selective.
Avoid too much to eat-foods of animal fat. Plenty of eating a type of fat called omega-3, contained in fish, nuts, or seeds.
Many-many also eat fruit and vegetables. The expert always never lack or excess in the matter of eating.
Music
Listening to music is suppose to enhance the ability of the brain in thinking, but not directly. Known to listen to music can make the body feel relaxed, reduced negative feelings, and reduce fear.
Well, the things that automatically enables us to focus more on thinking. But not everyone known to succeed with the help of music. Some people just can not think of while listening to music.So, find your own way!
Do not forget to play
Intensive learning continuously without rest and without a pause is not a wise behavior. Playing is fun. In addition to relieving stress, play also makes us think the brain's ability to be more brilliant. So, a time to play.
Just so you know, an Albert Einstein and Bill Gates have always reserve time each day to play. Conversely, do not also just playing around all the time. Just playing will not make you an expert.
Some suggestions to play:
1. Play physically. Come in a physical game that is not a specific target (compete to win is not playing) and which are not restricted by time (up to several minutes to reach a certain point is not playing).
2. Playing with objects, such as making something with your hands and you enjoy the activity (just do it, without having any target must make something. Just do it).
3. Joining with friends or other persons in a visible activity without purpose, like just talking and laughing together.
Meditation
Meditation routine helps the brain work. The simplest way is a simple breathing exercise. First, create the position of the body in a state as comfortable as possible. Then inhale through the nostrils and inhaled deeply, then release slowly from the mouth hole. Do it repeatedly, until the body feels fresh.
Believe it if you can
"Despite trying very hard but you failed as well. Then you conclude if you are not capable enough."
Well, even if you think so, psychologists have claimed otherwise.Such failures are often not because of lack of ability, but because of self-confidence is lacking.
Most of us are stuck in a stereotype that only certain people who can succeed.
As a result, our brains also react to adjust to that trust. And so, we did not achieve our best performance because we basically do not really believe it will succeed. So, you can trust 100%, then your brain will help you.
Playing video-games
Hm ... apparently playing video games in time proportional, will improve the ability of our brains to think.
So, play video-games, particularly strategy games that require your ability to quickly make decisions.
But too much time playing video-games will also make you think the ability to decline. Try not more than 1 hour per day to play.
It was not hard to improve the ability of our brain thinks. Hopefully the above recipe can alter the ability to think all my friends. May be useful.
