      The author shows that there exists a prime ring with zero center such that its central closure is a simple ring with an identity element. This solves a problem posed by Beidar. The proof is very clever and the desired ring is a subalgebra of infinite, row-finite matrices over polynomial rings in infinitely many variables over rational numbers.
