Nanomaterial control devices using magnets

Caption

A magnetic sea urchin-shaped material (developed by KIST) is placed inside the pipe where wastewater flows in, and magnets are used on the outside of the pipe to induce self-assembly. The arranged urchin-shaped material can also be easily cleaned by adjusting the magnetic field when it is contaminated by suspended solids in the wastewater.
