Microscopic Robots Capture 80% of Waterborne Microplastics and Bacteria – See How They Work

When plastic waste breaks down, it becomes even more difficult to remove from oceans and bodies of water. Microplastics have also infiltrated the food chain and can bind bacteria that may cause diseases. Moreover, microplastics can enter the human body through various pathways, including air and drinking water. The impacts are not yet fully understood, but the problem is pressing. Researchers have come up with microbots, only 2.8 micrometers in diameter, that
