MIT Develops "Paper Towel" For Oil Spills

Posted by CowboyNeal on from the cleanup-on-ocean-three dept.

TheUnknownCoder writes "MIT scientists have created a Nanowire mesh that can selectively absorb hydrophobic (oil-like) liquids from water up to 20 times its weight. The membrane can be recycled many times for future use, and the oil itself can also be recovered. There's even a video of it in action, removing gasoline from water."

    I wonder it it was invented by BLACKS. What do you think?

    I wonder what America is going to be like in just 10 years' time, when non-white third world parasites are 50% of the population, and demanding everything from the remaining whites...

    But don't tell me - I'm an evil "racist" and that rebuts everything I've just written...

    And "We're all the same", no doubt...

    Except that the real world proves this not to be the case at all. Blacks are FAR more likely to be violent criminals than whites, and FAR more likely to be as thick as shit to boot.
