Polywater

In the 1960s claims were made that scientific studies had confirmed an hither-to unknown phase of water, called polywater.[1] Polywater was said to be a kind or ordered liquid water, formed in very thin capillary tubes.
Research grants requests were written.[1] Studies were conducted. In the end it turned out that the anomalous properties were due to impurities in the tubes -- not due to the discovery of a new form of liquid water.
Like N-Rays, polywater is cited as a warning against scientific hubris.[1]
