Researchers have developed a prototype for coral-reef-friendly sunscreens by using polymerization to create large molecules that still block UV radiation but are too big to penetrate our skin, coral, and algae. The polymeric UV filter, presented in the journal Cell Reports Physical Sciences, was more effective at preventing sunburn in mice than existing sunscreens.
