*TEEN SCIENTISTS WIN BIG FOR CLEAN WATER 💧* Meet *JUSTIN ZHANG* & *VICTORIA XU*, 17, from Texas — creators of an *ULTRASONIC SYSTEM* that filters *MICROPLASTICS* using *SOUND WAVES*! 🧠🌍 🏆 Won *$50K at Regeneron ISEF 2024* #YouthInnovation #MicroplasticSolution #STEMChampions #RegeneronISEF #CleanWaterTech

In 2019, Irish chemistry student Fionn Ferreira won the Google Science Fair with a magnetic ferrofluid that removes up to 93 % of microplastics from water. He created a reusable liquid made of magnetite and vegetable oil that binds to plastic particles. Now studying chemistry at the University of Groningen, Ferreira has founded Fionn & Co. and is scaling his invention with prototypes for real-world wastewater treatment.

Seventeen-year-olds Victoria Ou and Justin Huang from College Park High School in Texas developed a groundbreaking filtration system that uses ultrasonic waves to remove microplastics from water. Their device achieved a removal rate of 84% to 94% in lab tests, offering a promising solution to a pervasive environmental issue. Inspired by a visit to a water treatment plant, they aimed to address the challenges in removing microplastics from wastewater. Their innovation earned them the $50,000 Gordon E. Moore Award at the Regeneron International Science and Engineering Fair.
