This property is extremely valuable that could change the future of electronics. The shark species has existed for millions of years on earth, but it is not until now that they really become useful to humans.

Thanks to the extremely sensitive nature, the frozen fluid in the shark's nose can be used to detect extremely weak electronic signals from extremely far distances. Scientists and engineers believe that this will be the revolution in the design of future sensitive sensors.

Sharks and stingrays all have an extremely sensitive nose that helps them detect prey from far away. Particularly for sharks, solidified fluids are also found on the skin, which helps explain why this fish is considered an "ocean killer" in its ability to hunt.

The first application that scientists think of is using shark fluid for fuel cell design . In addition, it is also used for biomedical sensors to detect the smallest signals of brain activity, cell change state, or any changes in biomechanics, biomedical and bioelectric.
