Nano-scale problems may need nano-scale solutions! In this article we are demonstrating the flotation-like removal of nanoplastics with the use of nanobubbles. The work was lead by PhD student Kenneth Mensah as a collaboration between Sudheera Yaparatne Sergi Garcia-Segura and Andre Magdaleno.  Kudos Kenneth et al.
