Magnetic Fish Hooks Save Sharks

from NOVA | PBS Hosted by WGBH Science Unit

It sounds like a plot device from a comic book: a simple substance that can make the powerful weak. But it's not kryptonite. An enterprising chemist says he's found a substance—several, in fact—that work against some of the most fearsome predators in the ocean. And he wants to use his discovery to protect them.
