Scientists built a reusable magnetic material that removed more than 95% of microplastics and nanoplastics from water within one hour and showed early promise in removing some PFAS
Innovative Australian researchers have developed a groundbreaking reusable magnetic material that effectively eliminates over ninety-five percent of microplastics from water. This remarkable technology also exhibits potential in removing harmful PFAS chemicals. The magnetic powder quickly captures tiny plastic particles and heavy metals, enabling easy recovery with magnets after use, thereby significantly cutting down on waste and operational co…
This 16-year-old built an autonomous AI-powered robot turtle that finds microplastics in water
Evan Budz said winning a $50,000 scholarship for his research in May was "surreal."Chris Ayers/Chris Ayers Photography/License by Society for ScienceEvan Budz built a turtle-inspired autonomous robot that detects microplastics in water.His project won a $50,000 scholarship at the Regeneron International Science and Engineering Fair.Budz, 16, conducted 15 field trials across 10 bodies of water in Canada.In the summer of 2024, Evan Budz stood at t…
New technology removes microplastics from water
Researchers at RMIT University have developed a new water treatment material capable of removing more than 95 per cent of microplastics and nanoplastics from water, marking a significant step towards tackling one of the world’s fastest-growing environmental challenges. The breakthrough builds on the team’s 2022 research and is designed to capture even the tiniest plastic particles, some as small as 30 nanometres, while also removing contaminants…
A team from India, made up of three 16-year-old teenagers, won the Earth Prize 2026 global prize thanks to a biodegradable powder made of tamarind seeds, able to group plastic residues present in the water and facilitate their extraction by means of a portable magnet
