Highier boiling temperature is a good thing as there definitely areas in the cylinder head that will cause localised boiling of the normal coolant. One thing missing is the information on the heat capacity of that liquid and if it is lower than a water based coolant it would mean that the system can run actually hotter than normal, which is not a good thing though you won't get vapour locks.
The whole analogy of the increased area with the smaller "cubes" makes no sense to me whatsoever as I can not see any connection between that and the cooling capability. Molecules if the coolant are small enough to be considered a nano particles.

Hi Shifu, I sort of get the cube analogy in that if you squash a cube flat its total volume area is far greater than its 3D shape so I think what there trying to say is that the greater amount of heat absorbing particles which they claim are less than 100nm each means that there is a greater absorbance surface than a fluid made up larger heat conductors. I spoke to the Peter Maher from the company and he agrees that although the best coolant is actually water it ability to transfer heat is limited by the surface area, flow and water temp as its thermal efficiency decreases as it gets hotter. I am not really convinced that the product would really make much of a difference on the Hayabusa but the idea is interesting.
