Micro robots eliminate 94% of microplastics
Czech scientists have developed microscopic robots capable of removing tiny plastic particles from water and soil, achieving removal rates of up to 94% for certain types of plastic within one hour. These robots rely on "MXene" particles that attract and stick to plastic molecules, and are coated with nickel nanomaterials to control their movement via magnetic fields. Tests have shown that these robots outperform stationary materials in effectively removing plastic, representing an important step toward developing sustainable methods for tackling plastic pollution in aquatic and terrestrial environments.
