New water treatment method is based on a sea creature

The video discusses the limitations of conventional coagulants like aluminum sulfate in removing small dissolved contaminants from water. Researchers from Yale and Peking University developed a nanocoagulant inspired by actinia to address this issue. The nanocoagulant features a core-shell structure that turns inside out in water, effectively trapping larger particles with its shell and capturing smaller dissolved ones with its core.
