===Polywater===
{{main|Polywater}}

[[Polywater]] was a form of water which appeared to have a much higher [[boiling point]] and much lower [[freezing point]] than normal water. During the 1960s, a number of articles were published on the subject, and research on polywater was done around the world with mixed results. Eventually it was determined that some of the properties of polywater could be explained by biological contamination. When more rigorous cleaning of [[Laboratory glassware|glassware]] and [[Scientific control|experimental controls]] were introduced, polywater could no longer be produced. It took several years for the concept of polywater to die in spite of the later negative results.
