Unless physicists talk in another language, the dictionary by definition
is correct.

http://www.answers.com/topic/steam
In physical chemistry and in engineering, steam refers to vaporized water.
It is a pure, invisible gas (for mist see below), which at standard
atmospheric pressure has a temperature of around 100 degrees Celsius, and
occupies about 1,600 times the volume of liquid water (steam can of course
be much hotter than the boiling point of water; such steam is usually called
superheated steam).
