Han Solo Freezing—Could It Happen?

The scene of Han Solo trapped in carbonite is unforgettable — but is it scientifically possible?

Dr. Alex Baker of the University of Warwick reveals that while freezing a human in real life is far from safe or practical, certain materials like gallium can preserve tiny organisms. Though the leap from worms to humans is massive, the science behind cryogenics and suspended animation is advancing.

Scientists are also exploring materials like synthetic diamonds and polyethylene as real-life equivalents to Star Wars armor.
