We're one step closer to creating ice-nine.

Frankdicksonite? Is that some sort of inside joke?

Water is awesome.

 

[i7Rocks]

Frankdicksonite??? come on now, really?

 

[shin0bi272]

so its anti-salt?

(salt lowers the temp at which water freezes)

 

[Fetal]

nice name.

When I read this, my first thought was, "Now my drink won't get warm!"

...god I feel stupid...

Doesn't salt also increase the temperature water can reach before turning to steam?

Also, if they perfect this they can use it to keep those Ice Hotels in Alaska up year round, that would be cool.

Maybe some guy at the lab named Frank was caught having sexual intercourse with an ice cube.

 

[teknomedic]

is the artic to hot to keep all that water locked up in ice form?... no worries, we'll just sprinkle a little of this in the north and south and BOOM!... water is kept safely locked up.

Just hope they don't try to prank someone... sure would suck peeing ice cubes.

You had me at Frankdicksonite. Now say THAT really fast a few times.

 

[JohnnyChrist]

Frankdicksonite is my new favorite word.

yep

 

[omikron48]

Who's Frank Dickson? Is Frankdicksonite his weakness?

 

[bmikulla]

Great - just a sprinkle and you can help turn someone's sidewalk into a sheet of ice.

 

[rkelly1]

be sweet if they could make a thermal grease (or TIM) out of this.

 

[ravewulf]

Just think: ice rinks that are pleasantly warm instead of freezing cold
