    The phrase “pre-melted” is making me chuckle. If it’s pre-melted, surely it’s frozen? If it’s frozen, isn’t that just ice?

      I think pre-melted means melted in advance, not the state before melting.

      Eh, that’s what they called it in the article and I’m neither a physicist nor a material scientist. They made a definite distinction between the two forms of the materials in this and other articles related to the topic which I was too topic-uninformed to understand. So you might be right :D

        Nothing personal, my lack of understanding is what made me giggle :)
