These microrobots can collect nanoplastics from water
Julia Rock-Torcivia
Researchers at Brno University of Technology have developed magnetic microbots that can remove nanoplastics from water via electrostatic attraction. They published their findings in Environmental Science: Nano. Nanoplastics, plastic particles smaller than 100 nm, are considered more dangerous than microplastics because their size allows them to cross cell membranes. They have been detected in the… The post These microrobots can collect nanoplastics from water appeared first on Research & Develo
