Well, we have seen researchers from the Massachusetts Institute of Technology (MIT) develop some cool and innovative products in the past. And now, a team of research scientists from the renowned university has come up with a unique material that can keep items cold for as long as eight days without needing any electricity or ice packs.
Now, the researchers say that, once fully developed, there are a lot of applications for this new unnamed (as of yet) material in human society. For starters, the researchers suggest that fast food makers can pack their food with this new material to keep them fresh. On the other hand, it can also help farmers store their perishable crops for a longer period of time. Moreover, as the material, which is less than half-inch in thickness, can keep items cool, it can also be used to store temperature-sensitive medicines such as vaccines.
