New magnetic soap could be used to clean up oil spills

New magnetic soap could be used to clean up oil spills: "When oil gets spilled in a waterway, clean-up crews will often introduce a solution known as a surfactant. This is a detergent that lessens the surface tension between the water and the overlaying oil slick, causing the oil to form into individual droplets which then sink or get dispersed by wave action."
