An 'un-count' noun is called an uncountable or mass noun.

Uncountable nouns are words for things or ideas that can't be divided into separate elements; they can't be counted, such as a substance or a concept.

For example the word furniture, we can count the pieces of furniture but we can't count the furniture as a kind of thing; or milk, we can count the quarts or the liters of milk but we can't count the milk itself.

Some examples of uncountable nouns are:

advice

aluminum

butter

concrete

education

electricity

happiness

helium

information

knowledge

love

money

music

news

oxygen

sugar

water

wine

Note: The plural form for uncountable substance nouns is reserved for 'kinds of' or 'types of' such as "a selection of teas including black tea, green tea, oolong, and jasmine".
