For those of us who like to keep our powder and irons dry...
The day the ocean disappeared.
Historians trace the disappearance of the Mediterranean Ocean to the sinking of a bulk chemical freighter off the coast of Tunisia. The ship recently came through the Suez Canal and was transporting 750 metric tons of Upsalite when it came under rocket attack by unknown forces. The double hull was breached and sea water rushed into the hold triggering the cataclysmic reaction. It is believed that the disappearance of the weight of the sea water caused an earthquake that sealed the Med off at Gibraltar.
Then they put it in a bottle, shook it all up, and invented upsy-daysyum.
Looks like you beat me to it, in a way.
One of the interesting aspects of nanotechnology is the substantial increase of surface area. Physical grinding wouldn’t approach it, but if it did it would be much more costly.
I think the “discovery” in there is the usage of high pressure to make the manufacturing process much more efficient. This is more a question of thermodynamics than chemistry.
Irony is that this would prove the falsity of fossile fuel equal globla warming because fossile fuels are made in a natural earth high pressure environment difficult to reproduce when using corn to synthesize.
All matter of control and coopting.
About half the time when I run the AC I am not looking for it to be cooler I just want the air a bit drier. When the fish is swimming above his bowl you know it is a bit humid. Open a jar of this stuff and heyo-presto.
With a lifetime supply of survival food from foodinsurance.com kept humidity proof by Upsalite.
I think we are full circle now lol
I can just see the little packets of dessicant made from this in the near future labeled "GO AHEAD AND EAT"
Don't worry - Kurt Vonnegut's "Ice 9" might be an effective antidote if applied immediately, LOL.

Sean, I’ll be waiting for my Ruth’s Criss gift certificate.
Thank me for all my efforts!
Any word on cavorite?
I wonder if you can generate a water supply with this stuff- just run outdoor air throught it, isolate, bake it off with solar heating, condense, repeat. Another technology to live off the grid?
Should they call it Oopsalite?
Ding! Ding! Ding! Winner Post! LOL!

FReepmail me if you want on or off my health and science ping list.
Good point, but you already have dessicants for that.
Lolz
The possibility of making your own petro just went up.
