States of Matter
In this film Dan Plant, from Imperial College London, talks about the three states of matter providing examples from the world around us. A short animation highlights some of the properties of solids and liquids and then introduces a substance that blurs the lines. Armourgel is mostly liquid, until it’s subjected to force, then it momentarily becomes a solid. Dan discusses this unusual material and how its properties can be used to protect people from all sorts of accidents and injuries.
