A new cooling cube that never melts could revolutionize how food is kept cooled and shipped.

The jelly ice cubes came about after Luxin Wang, an associate professor at University of California, Davis and part of the research, saw the amount of ice used at fish-processing plants and the cross-contamination that meltwater could spread among products or down the drain.
