An 18-year-old just did what billion-dollar water companies couldn't.

Meet Mia Heller.

A high school junior from Warrenton, Virginia who built a water filter in her garage that strips out 95.5% of microplastics from drinking water.

That's better than most government treatment plants, which sit somewhere between 70% and 90%.

Her secret weapon? Ferrofluid. A magnetized liquid made of oil and powder that latches onto microplastic particles. Then a magnet yanks them out. No membranes. No constant filter replacements. No endless maintenance bills.
The ferrofluid even gets recycled, around 87% of it, in a closed loop.

The spark for all of this wasn't a classroom project. It was a local newspaper article warning that her town's tap water was loaded with PFAS and microplastics, and that nobody was coming to fix it.

So she watched her mom swap out filter after filter and thought, there has to be a smarter way.

She built the prototype herself. Tested it with a homemade turbidity sensor. Then walked into the Regeneron International Science and Engineering Fair and walked out with a special award from the Patent and Trademark Office Society.
Up against nearly 1,700 students from 62 countries.

She's now eyeing a household version that sits under your kitchen sink.

The future of clean water might not come from a lab in Silicon Valley. It might come from a teenager's garage in Virginia.

@AlexanderTabet What are Arizona Washes?
also known as arroyos or dry washes) are natural drainage channels that carry water from higher elevations to lower ones.

Vegetation Corridors: Washes are often filled with vegetation like palo verde, ironwood, and mesquite trees.

@AlexanderTabet Alex great reporting although for your clarification the divots you stated between houses are called culvert s
They are used for variety of reasons frequently though they are to carry off runoff water on the ground to prevent flooding to structures away from roadways

Anytime I see anything with the name Ken Burns on it I know I'm in for a ride through history and will learn so much.

General Joseph Warren's younger brothers, John and Eben, found his remains on Breed's Hill on April 5, 1776. A sexton had seen where Joseph fell when he was killed at the Battle of Bunker Hill on June 17, 1775. After some digging they found his mutilated and decomposed body identified by an artificial tooth fastened with gold wire. What most people don't know is that Joseph's remains laid in state at the Town House (Old State House) in Boston for three days before his funeral on April 8, 1776. So next time you visit the Old State House, stop for a minute and pay respects to Joseph Warren.

We are excited to share that the compelling story of Dr. Joseph Warren is finally being brought to the screen!! Founding Martyr: The Dr. Joseph Warren Documentary! You can watch the trailer at https://t.co/Qf7pyE7M7T

Have you heard of the patriot physician, Dr. Joseph Warren (1741-1775)? Chances are that if you are familiar with his name, you remember Warren as the man who dispatched Paul Revere and William Dawes riding into historic stardom or as the fighting major general who was killed in action at the battle of Bunker Hill. Dr. Joseph Warren died a martyr to freedom, but also a traitor to King George III since a declaration of independence was over a year away. Without Warren and Bunker Hill, would there have been an American Revolution?

A Harvard graduate and top Boston physician, Warren rose to the heights of power and influence, agitating resistance against oppressive Crown policies. As the leading Freemason and spymaster, Warren’s vast network transcended not only the confines of Boston, but also her deep political fault lines. Warren helped push the colonies to the brink of revolution, organizing and controlling the iconic events of the colonial rebellion.
