Chemists have purified water from pollutants using 'smart rust'. The technology operates by utilizing nanoparticles made of iron oxide, coated with a layer of phosphoric acid and attached molecules that interact with specific types of pollutants. These nanoparticles can be attracted with a magnet, facilitating their extraction from the water. They can then be reused for further purification.
