Arden Ayube Warner[2] was born in Barbados, in Eagle Hall, a part of the capital, Bridgetown, in St Michael parish.
[5] The US Department of Energy sought input from the scientists of the national laboratories as it struggled to deal with the cleanup required after the Deepwater Horizon event.
With his wife's encouragement, Warner devised and tested an approach involving magnetite and booms which, with Fermilab support, he patented.
[12] As of 2019, the technology, which was elaborated as "electromagnetic boom and MOP",[13] was being scaled up for commercial use by a company licensed by Fermilab and led by Warner.
[14] Warner's idea was an inspiration for Irish student scientist Fionn Ferreira in his invention of a method for cleaning microplastics from the oceans.
