Sapphire: A Liquid That Won't Get Things Wet
eaglebtc writes "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. Click here for a slideshow of the demonstration. 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!"
you cruel, heartless person.
No, wait. If you were truly heartless, you'd make pop-overs and -unders that all showed those hideous pictures and screamed that inane alarm.
Standing at the very edge of my imagination, I peered into the inky void and realised -- I couldn't think up a new sig.
Ugh I agree.... Damn fake FAQ troll.

Now, if they could just find a way through some sort of bizarre gene therapy maybe to make male ejaculation fluids based on this stuff, my bed sheets would thank the scientific community!
(Stop looking so disgusted, you were thinking it too!)
