Researchers in USA have created a new tool to clean up oil spills by tinkering with the foamy stuff found in seat cushions. The modified foam can soak up oil floating on water and lurking below the surface, and then can be repeatedly wrung out and reused, the researchers say. The researchers at Argonne Laboratories use a new procedure to coat the foam with a material that attracts oil but not water. Experts say that it’s hard to tell how well it would work in real-world settings, but that it appears suitable for being produced in large amounts.
