  • What a great thing for helping clean up oil spills. I’m sure it could be used in anywhere, not just the ocean.

  • Now this I really like. I wonder if they will be able to adapt this to other uses.

  • 2 years ago, I got to visit the University of Kentucky where they were working on making nanotubes and testing them for strength. It was very cool.

  • Wow, it can absorb 20 times it’s weight!  This nanowire mesh is really powerful.  I also noticed in the article that this nanowire paper is inexpensive to produce!  I’m sure that this will help improve our environment and purify water.
