Abstract over the years there have been many types of research that show us there are many different ways of cleaning up oil spills, but in actuality none of them fully remove the oil from the sea or ocean, until now there wasn't really a fully reliable, cheap, and economic friendly way to clean up the international and economic crisis that we have. But thanks to some nanotechnologies and a few strong magnets we now have a reliable technique and honestly the idea is pretty simple. When I had started this experiment my question was will I succeed in separating oil from water entirely?
