一种钻石的来源也能成为产业的福音,他们将这种奇妙的硬石运用到了各种事物上,从刀片到截肢的假臀。
The idea comes from a St Andrews University scientist challenged to find out just what is inside a flame.
这个想法来自圣安德鲁斯大学的科学家,他挑战性的要找出火焰里到底是什么。
Wuzong Zhou, a professor of chemistry, said: ‘A colleague from another university said to me: "Of course, no one knows what a candle flame is actually made of."
一位化学教授Wuzong Zhou说:“另一所大学的同事告诉我说‘没人知道火焰里是什么东西’。”
‘I told him I believed science could explain everything eventually, so I decided to find out.’
我告诉他说:“我相信科学可以解释一切,因此我决定找出这个真相。”
The professor invented a filter that allowed him to successfully extract particles from the centre of the flame, where temperatures top 1,400C, and then examined them.'
这位教师发明了一种过滤器,这可以让他成功的提取出火焰中间的微粒,它的温度高达1400度,然后他就会检测这些物质。
To his surprise, he discovered that the carbon in the candle wax had formed all four types of pure carbon, including diamonds and graphite, or pencil lead.
令他吃惊的是,他发现蜡烛里的碳已经形成了纯碳的四种形态,包括:钻石、石墨和铅笔芯。
