The economic value of "special water" was first cultivated in Europe during the late 1700s when people began visiting natural springs to drink the water or bathe in it.

Scientists have long marveled over counter-intuitive properties that set water apart from other solids and liquids commonly found in nature. That is why Pablo Debenedetti and collaborators were surprised to find a highly simplified model molecule that behaves in much the same way as water, a discovery that upends long-held beliefs about what makes water so special. picked by AutumnLotus 10 months ago 0 comments edit related share science |
Water, good ol' H2O, seems like a pretty simple substance to you and me. But in reality, water - the foundation of life and most common of liquid - is really weird and scientists actually don't completely understand how water works. picked by Bornbad 3 months ago 10 comments edit related share science |

Martin Mustapha found a dead fly in a water dispenser bottle in 2001 and brought a $300,000 suit against the suppliers. At appeal, Mustapha, who never drank any of the water, didn't get the result he was after. Not by a long chalk. picked by pocksucket 7 months ago 3 comments edit related share plime.com |
According to Jay Dillon, the director of Subgroup: "It tends to stand out on the shelves, by not standing out. Whilst all the other brands are fighting on the shelf with the same old cascasding water falls and water droplets etc. Our clear invisible bottle makes a focus of the water inside.

It costs $30 per gallon to get water to U.S. soldiers in arid areas, so having a water extraction plant would be a big help. A small company has figured out how to extract water from the air, even at humidity levels as low as 14%, for 30 cents per gallon. DARPA is very interested. picked by Fanatic 2 years ago 2 comments edit related share technology |
