Halbach array oil spill cleaning system, illustration. This system uses hydrophobic iron nanoparticles (lower left) to clean up oil spills using Halbach array magnets (lower centre). These magnets have a strong and weak side (inset at upper right), which means that the oil is attracted to the top side of the magnets (lower right). For this illustration with labels, see image C047/5377.
