We Froze and Burned Oobleck

Ever wonder what happens when you freeze or burn oobleck?
We took this weird, goopy substance — a non-Newtonian fluid made from cornstarch and water — and pushed it to the extreme. Using liquid nitrogen, we flash-froze the oobleck until it became so brittle, we could shatter it like glass! But that’s not all…

Then we cranked up the heat. 🔥 Instead of boiling like water, the oobleck charred and burned, leaving behind a crispy layer of carbonized cornstarch. This experiment shows that even the strangest materials still obey the rules of science... mostly.
