💁🏻‍♀️ TIL: 🧲💡 Sang-Woo Kim’s team at #Yonsei University in #SouthKorea built a small floating capsule that purifies #water using only magnetism.

Shaking it for three seconds powers a sensor and generates electrostatic fields that pop open bacterial membranes, with no #batteries or #chemicals required.

Korean Researchers Invented a Water-Purifying Capsule That You Can Power by Shaking It

The floating device tests water, then disinfects it without batteries or chemicals.

@tksst I'm kinda annoyed with that pic, the article describes the device as having lots of tiny electrodes, which are missing, and that's when I realised it was slop. The real device is pictured in the paper.
