Magnetic Soap!


Scientists from Bristol University have made a different kind of soap. Not the one you would generally use in the bath tub or the shower, but maybe for oil spills. It could also revolutionize cleaning products we use in everyday to clean our house. Ever since oil spills have been occurring, scientists have been trying to find a soap that could attract oils. Bristol University has been handling with the science of soap for some time now. They have made experiments where the soap is sensitive to light, carbon dioxide, pH levels, temperature, and more. These magnetic soaps are composed of iron rich soaps that when in contact with a water solution make a magnetic field around its area.
