Bioinspired, Carbohydrate-Containing Polymers Efficiently and Reversibly Sequester Heavy Metals Water scarcity and heavy metal pollution are significant challenges in today’s industrialized world. Conventional heavy metal remediation methods are often inefficient and energy-intensive, and produc...

Cool work by Cassandra Callmann & team in ACS Cent Sci reporting a sugar-like polymer that removes heavy metals from water by forming a recyclable precipitate. As proof-of-concept, the polymer removed Cd & Pb from river water spiked with these persistent contaminants pubs.acs.org/doi/10.1021/...

Howdy, corresponding author here! We realized the TOC mistake after we submitted the proofs (we have an actual, correct version but uploaded our mock up cartoon by accident!). Didn't think there was a way to change it, though!
