Scientists create the coldest Lego block in the universe

Physicists at Lancaster University recently have a new study, showing that the ABS plastic bricks of the Lego jigsaw are so familiar to you that you can withstand the almost absolute cold environment. is minus 273 degrees Celsius without deformation, cracking or reduced insulation. Even these bricks do not need glue to create an insulating wall, because the structure of their connection pins are extremely solid, thanks to the precise process of molding each toy plastic bricks. Manufacturer from Denmark.

Please watch the clip test to lower the temperature of the Lego minifigure to minus 273 degrees Celsius (4 miliKelvin), but the toy piece remains intact, not deformed, cracked below:

As mentioned, because the connection pins of the Lego bricks are precisely molded, there is no need for glue or adhesive to create insulating walls for the material inside it during cooling. Lead author of the study, JMA Chawner, said: 'There is no reason to explain the low temperature insulation of ABS plastics compared to other types of polymers. Instead, Lego bricks can be so well insulated because of the hard connection with high resistance between the plastic bricks. "

The discovery could help scientists create more effective insulating materials in cold environments, because the connected structure of Lego bricks is not registered, so it can be completely replicated. how the bricks fit together to create the desired insulation effect.
