Researchers in the United States announced on Friday they had created a paper-like membrane made of nano-scale materials that could clean up oil pollution and other chemical spills. The substance can absorb up to 20 times its own weight in oil and be recycled again and again for future use, while the oil itself can also be recovered and used, they reported in the specialist journal Nature Nanotechnology.
