Upper Room Christian School Graduate Invents Super Sponge to Absorb Oil Disaster

Upper Room Christian School Graduate, Daniel Hashim, is being heralded for creating what looks to be the best material available to clean up oil spills! Using Nano Technology Daniel has created a material that attracts oil, repels water, is magnetically influenced and is completely reusable!

Daniel graduated Upper Room Christian School in 2004. He attended RPI on a full academic scholarship as Upper Room is a Rensselaer Polytechnic Institute Medal School and Daniel was the Valedictorian of his class majoring in Nano Technology.

From RPI he went on to Rice University for his Master's Degree and to further his research with Nano Tubes. Two years ago he received a federal grant to continue his research and this material was the result. Daniel is still at Rice working on his Doctorate and finding ways to bring this new patent pending material to market.

Congratulations Daniel!!! Your hard work and perseverance is paying off for us all as your science will impact all of our lives.
