The world is moving on.Students from around the world are trying to invent new things that can change the world.New inventions are made to make the world a happy and beautiful place to live in.At Rice University students made a sponge that is made up of pure carbon nanotubes.
This sponge is capable of absorbing oil 100 times its weight.The material is olephilic and Hydrophobic which means that it do not absorbs water.It only absorbs oil.
Once the sponge absorbs oil it can be reused after taking out oil from it.
It is light in weight,Elastic and compressible .This technology can be used to save life of marine animals which will help absorb oil instead of water in oil spills.
