This is absolutely fascinating:

During Tuesday’s Good Morning America, a representative of Tyco Fire and Security displayed the amazing properties of the chemical that’s called “Sapphire.”

The chemical has all the firefighting properties of water, yet it will not cause the damage to items that is usually associated with water.

Tha material is god, obviously for libraries and museums, but the business applications are there as well. Think about the damage done when a sprinkler system leaks, or malfunctions, which could be avoided with the use of non-wet water.

It reminds me of the breathable water that I saw a few years ago, that applications for helping premature infants with repiratory problems.

Science continues to amaze me.
