Two teens from Texas won $50,000 for inventing a device that can filter toxic microplastics from water! The device uses ultrasound waves to generate pressure that holds microplastics back while allowing the water to flow through. 

Initial experiments have shown that a single pass through the device removes between 84% and 94% of microplastics.

What do you think of their invention?
