When two solids make a liquid : The phenomenon is reproduced every winter when salt is spread on icy roads. Upon mixing certain solids, a variety of low‐freezing and biodegradable liquids result (see picture). These eutectic mixtures offer a greener alternative to conventional ionic liquids and organic solvents.
