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!"

Thats insane. I am at a loss of words..

interesting... :thumbsup

Cool stuff :thumbsup

Very very cool.
Go swimming and not get wet haha.

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

I've been making water that doesn't get things wet for years, but I call it "ice" :winkwink:

Sense/Net will market it first.

:)

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?

I saw that. It was really cool. It can save a lot of damage!

thats kinda amaing think of the possibilities

Science progresses are always surprising, what next?

but can you wash your clothes in it?

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

I don't think it's mean for drinking

I thought the poster was just going to have a picture of an ice cube. :1orglaugh

:winkwink:

Thats amazing

Thats so freaking awsome!
I <3 science!

Interesting can't wait to hear more about this :thumbsup

if it was april first today i wouldnt of believed that. i still cant believe how something like that is possible

just what we need, more dirty fuckers walking around

Water that doesn't get you wet weird. What does it do to you then? Fall off you like you have wax on your body or something?

Got some useful domains, just in case :glugglug

Good plan. :winkwink:

wow... thats an amazing discovery...

Water that isn't wet huh ?:glugglug are those guys complete mad or they just watch to much sci-fi movies

I wonder if it conducts electricity

Awesome--fire retardant that doesn't get wet. Great for fire protection or heat regulation.

wow..
