Frozen oil can be the key to creating transformational materials

The strange looking objects you see in the image above are frozen kerosene droplets, and do you see that they are making rectangles, triangles, and even polygons?

The strange looking objects you see in the image above are frozen kerosene droplets, and do you see that they are making rectangles, triangles, and even polygons?

This is the result of research by scientists in England and Bulgaria, who found that if you slowly freeze the oil droplets while they are in liquid state, you can create the shapes above, And if you heat them, they return to their original form.

The oil droplets are frozen.

This is quite an interesting thing when something in nature can shape those blocks that are usually only human capable of making.

By implementing this research, scientists are able to create materials that are flexible with varying degrees of flexibility.

For example, we may have a liquid or solid medication, depending on the condition of the treatment, with auto-hardening paint to better protect the wall while the patch is still loose as usual. Its potential can also be incorporated into the cosmetics industry, consumer products.
