Nature Water, Published online: 23 April 2026; doi:10.1038/s44221-026-00620-1 Nanoplastics are persistent water contaminants that evade conventional removal methods. Magnetic biohybrid nanonets are found to capture up to 99.9% of them, remain highly recyclable and greatly reduce in vivo accumulation.
