    Scientists Create "Water" That Isn't Wet

    Tuesday on Good Morning America, a representative from Tyco Fire & Security demonstrated an amazing new substance called Sapphire: a water-like fluid that does not get things wet. He filled a small fish tank with Sapphire and submerged a book, a laptop, and a flat panel TV. Both electronics were turned on when submerged; all three items came out completely unharmed. The official name for Sapphire is actually Novec 1230. Read about it here (PDF). Tyco sees practical applications of Sapphire in fire extinguisher systems for museums and libraries. By the same token of practicality, regular readers of Slashdot probably have something else in mind: total-immersion watercooling. Just think of the possibilities!"

                      Really expensive and boils at low temperature but would be cool to put stuff in and take it out without it being wet

                                  Does this water hydrate you!? How low is the boiling point? Like if you drink it would your b*o*d*y heat it up enough to boil?

                                                  but can you wash your clothes in it?

                                                  imagine washing your car with it... no drying and no waterspots

                                                          I thought the poster was just going to have a picture of an ice cube.
