No papers on it?

In the references i only see 'news' sources, no papers or technical journals or such. That is a bad thing. [http://www.liv.ac.uk/ Liverpool university] and/or [http://www2.hull.ac.uk/ Hull university] might be places to look. [http://pubs.rsc.org/en/Content/ArticleLanding/2010/GC/b922508k this may be a paper], seen [http://www2.hull.ac.uk/science/chemistry/staff/berniebinks.aspx Bernie Binks] quoted, maybe some of those papers are about dry water.(but under different name.) (Can't access some of the papers i tried without paying..)82.169.255.79 (talk) 20:10, 2 April 2011 (UTC)

Ice Nine

The link Ice Nine in the "See Also" section links to a fictional substance. I suspect the link was actually meant to go to the real-existing Ice IX. If so, it should be changed. If it indeed is intended to go to the fictional substance, I think the link should be annotated accordingly. --132.199.99.50 (talk) 11:03, 30 November 2015 (UTC)

Sand Size

It says that dry water is the size of a grain of sand, but sand grain size varies. I get that it means small but, is the size of a sand grain a valid comparison? Perhaps if it said an actual size also I would be happy.

Density?

What is the effective water density once a sample has been converted to this dry form?

just water -> 100%

water mixed with silica -> ? %

water after conversion/wrapping with silica -> ? %

Patent

The existing sources are mostly missing or not scientific at all. The idea that it was 'snatched up' by the cosmetic industry and the lost until being recently rediscovered seems to be invented in 2010 by sciencedaily to sexy up their article.
