Tequila can be used to make a type of synthetic diamond, scientists have discovered.

When heated under pressure, the potent Mexican spirit produces diamond structures which are able to conduct electricity.

The crystals, used to make diamond film, have previously been made from a number of different chemicals, often including nitrogen.

But the experiment, highlighted by New Scientist magazine, is believed to be the first time that scientists have proved that any type of alcohol can be used to produce synthetic diamond.
