Consider Using Mayonnaise to Control Sun-Like Energy – Life & Style

Scientists at Lee High University in the US are looking for a way to revolutionize nuclear fusion research using mayonnaise.

Mayonnaise, known for its creamy texture and strong flavor, is being used as an unexpected model to understand the complex behavior of plasma in fusion reactors.

The research team discovered that mayonnaise, which is normally considered a solid, exhibits fluid-like properties when subjected to certain pressure conditions.

“We use mayonnaise because it behaves like a solid, but when it’s subjected to pressure, it starts to flow,” says Arandam Banerjee, head of the research team.

He adds that the use of mayonnaise also negates the need for high temperature and pressure conditions, which are extremely difficult to control.
