It can also capture other pollutants. The powder is magnetic, so it can easily be removed from the water after use. A magnet attracts the material that researchers used to make adsorbents that ...

Magnetic assembly of the core-shell fibers. Thermal welding of the assembled fiber at 70°C for 5 min with a heat gun. The welded device is bent, twisted, and stretched to show mechanical robustness.

A magnetic powder that can rapidly suck out all the microplastics in water could be used by water treatment plants to better remove the contaminants. At present, most of these plants can remove ...
