Description
Yiwei Liu and co-authors review tiny protein fibers, built by the proteins themselves, as tools to clean water from source to tap. Pollution has grown more mixed, so care now spans watching the source, pulling out named harms, and a final clean at the end.
The fibers are rich in groups that can bind other substances, mild to make, and easy to tune. Across the chain they can serve as sensors for dirt in water, sponges that grab pollutants, supports for catalysts that break harms down, and parts of membranes that strain water. The review also names the blocks that still keep such systems from wide use.
