A US high school student has pioneered a low-cost water filter using magnetic ferrofluid to capture 96% of microplastics. This innovative prototype, inspired by local pollution concerns, offers a promising, affordable solution to a global crisis. The system's efficiency and potential for reuse are drawing significant attention, suggesting a new avenue for cleaner drinking water.

CERN scientists successfully transported antiprotons by truck for the first time, suspending them in a vacuum within a specially designed magnetic trap. This four-hour test journey, including a half-hour drive, aimed to assess the safe movement of these fragile particles. The experiment is a crucial step towards enabling antiproton research at other institutions.
