I wonder if there are any practical uses of this phenomenon?

You get enough of these tubs with frozen water in them, and you can cool your drink and it will never melt.

No, because it’s hot. But the water is in ice state.......but not cold. It’s because the water molecules are trapped, they cannot move which is what happens when water freezes. When water is heated up the molecules become more and more energetic, and move around faster and faster. But if they cannot move, they cannot be liquid.

Well - if by “cool” you mean 105 degrees Celsius.

"at high temperatures that would normally set it boiling."

What does this mean?
