Nano materials have emerged as a powerful tool for purification of coastal oil flow.
Credit: Pixabay/CC0 Public domain Cleaning after large -scale oil flow is a long and expensive process, and damage to the coastal area is important. This is especially true to the Arctic Circle in the world where the newly opened sea lanes are increasing risk due to an increase in maritime traffic. Currently, even in areas with a large population, it…
