These tiny magnetic springs melt microplastics into nothing

Get the Full StoryA new technological solution to our plastics problem comes in an odd shape.

Microplastics tiny fragments of plastic smaller than 5 millimeters across are so ubiquitous that plastic is now found in drinking water, Arctic snow, and the deepest part of the ocean. As plastic breaks down, the tiny size makes it even harder to remove from water. But scientists are testing a new method that could safely dissolve it: tiny, spring-shaped magnets.Read Full Story
