  • apackofmonkeys, on 06/24/2009, -2/+4How did this frontpage with so few diggs and comments? I'll never understand that damned algorithm.

    That said, it is a cool article. If they could harness this, there are many applications (mostly cooling related) that this could be used for.

  • amnesiac87, on 06/24/2009, -0/+2*****! Would this hard-to-freeze water have a 140F melting point once frozen? I'm going to have to start reading up on the books of Bokonon and begin looking for descendants of one of the creators of the bomb.
  • Cole2026, on 06/24/2009, -1/+2Ice 9! Except sort of the opposite. :P
  • rawnzilla, on 06/24/2009, -2/+3This is really chilling, earth-shattering news. It's very cool to hear something nice every once in the while. I think this is just the tip of the iceberg in relation to our knowledge of crystals.

    Ice.
