For the past few years, most researchers and other experts believed that water is an almost perfect insulator under normal conditions. This means that heat and electricity can t easily pass through the liquid substance.
On the other hand, scientists also explained that water could only develop metallic properties if it is under extreme pressure. This can be seen in the videos showing the core of planets, where a molten metallic liquid is found.

Eric Fossum, Dartmouth s John H. Krehbiel Sr. Professor for Emerging Technologies, has been announced as one of just a few recipients of the 72nd Annual Technology and Engineering Emmy® Awards. The honor, a first for Dartmouth engineering faculty, comes from the National Academy of Television Arts and Sciences (NATAS) for inventing and pioneering the intra-pixel charge transfer CMOS image sensor the basis for all modern CMOS image sensors, including almost all cell-phone cameras, webcams, and many digital-still cameras.
“First and foremost, it makes me happy to see people using the technology to have fun and enjoy life. But honestly, it is also a little hard to wrap my head around how much impact it has had on society and business and medicine and so many facets of modern life,” said Fossum.
