Student accidentally creates 'shape-recovering liquid' that's an exception to the laws of thermodynamics

A graduate student accidentally created a blend of oil, water and nickel particles that formed an unexpected shape.

By playing on the metastable states of matter, researchers have shown that it is theoretically possible to challenge the laws of thermodynamics to produce materials with revolutionary properties.

The image of an iconic film, which marked more than a generation, that Terminator who was able to go through with his body, which changed the shape of iron bars, certainly comes to mind when we think of this type of material.These are elements that can end up being the ones that will mark the future in which nanotechnology will be key.The search for materials that do not have any kind of barrier, that allow to increase the safety of homes or mea…
