Korea has created toothed drones to clean microplastics from water bodies
The Korea Institute of Science and Technology announced the creation of innovative floating drones. They are able to effectively remove microplastics from water bodies.
These devices work on the principle of a robot hoover, but instead of dust, they clean water from tiny plastic particles. The drones are equipped with hydrophilic toothed structures that use surface tension to trap microplastics.
