Teenagers Victoria Ou and Justin Huang , both 17 , won $ 50,000 for their microplastic filtration device.
They used ultrasound to filter microplastics from water using ultrasonic sound waves.
They hope to scale their device for water treatment plants and wastewater treatment plants.
Their device is remarkably small, about the size of a pen.
Ou and Huang say their device is the first to use ultrasound to block and filter microplastics directly.
Previous studies have tested similar methods to filter water from water.
"This is something that I've been dreaming of my whole life, so I'm still pinching myself trying to figure out if this is real or not".
