Witness the magic of non-Newtonian fluids in slow motion

It’s not supposed to be that hard to figure out if something is liquid or if something is solid. If it flows like water, it’s liquid. If it stays relatively still, it’s solid. But what if it’s a substance that breaks the laws of normal behavior and is both liquid and solid? Like non-Newtonian fluids?

The Weird New Solid That's Actually a Liquid

Usually, if you cool any substance down enough it will turn into a solid—the most stable state of matter that exists, according to traditional physics. But that could all be about to change, because researchers have discovered a weird new liquid state that’s more stable than a solid crystal.
