Polyox (polyethylene oxide) is a non-toxic, long-chain polymer with a high molar mass. A solution of Polyox (approximately 1% w/v) behaves as an 'elastic liquid' and will even 'self-siphon'.

A blue pigment that changes colour according to lighting conditions. In sunlight or ultra-violet light, the pigment changes colour immediately and dramatically.

Ferrofluid can be used in both Science and Design & Technology due to its properties as a magnetic liquid.
