Substance That is a Liquid Until Electricity is Applied

i am looking for a substance that is a liquid until electricity is applied and it becomes solid, until the charge is turned off, then it returns back to its liquid state.

i have worked with Ferrofluid in the past , but it doesn't have the type of properties that i need , the substance that i need is viscous like jello or like bondo before you mix it, then you put into a shape and it stays like a resin or epoxy until you take the charge off and it goes back to its previous room temperature state , like gooey sand ,

Never heard of such materials, but the ferrofluids change their density in the presence of a magnetic field, such principle is being used in some trucks seat's suspension for many years.
