Scientists in the United Kingdom are reporting potential new uses for an unusual substance known as "dry water," which resembles powdered sugar. The powder could provide a convenient and efficient way to absorb and store carbon dioxide, the major greenhouse gas that contributes to global warming, the scientists said. Their study is scheduled for presentation in August at the 240th National Meeting of the American Chemical Society (ACS) in Boston.
