Nanotechnology could save the Gulf

A scientist at the University of Pittsburgh, who makes nanoparticle coatings that break up ice from forming on power lines, has created a cotton filter that separates crude oil from seawater.

I hope they can produce mass quantities of this stuff in time to help. I'm sure in the long term this will be awesome, but it's too bad we didn't already have this a month ago.
