A comment on Radioactive Uranium Preconcentration via Self-Propelled Autonomous Microrobots.
Always amazes me how we're able to create things this small/thin.
> In simulated radioactive wastewater, the microrobots removed 96% of the uranium in an hour
That's a very respectable number, I'm curious how they simulated waste water and what the differences would be with real waste water.
> The team collected the uranium-loaded rods with a magnet and stripped off the uranium, allowing the tiny robots to be recycled.
And they're reusable? Bravo!
