University University of Texas at Austin To combat the extreme environmental toll of major oil spills, researchers have created a new technology that could significantly improve cleanup capabilities compared with current methods. The technology uses a dual-layer mesh roller coupled with an induction heating technique, with material properties that allow it to separate oil from water and then remove that oil from the ocean with high efficiency and throughput. In experiments, the researchers showed the potential to retrieve up to 1,400...
