These fabrics don’t shed microplastics, don’t contain toxic flame retardants, and allow your skin to breathe without the risk of chemical exposure.

To construct the bots, the team linked strands of a positively charged polymer to magnetic microparticles, which only move when exposed to a magnetic field. The polymer strands, which radiate from the surface of the beads, attract both plastics and microbes.

A new microscopic technique zeroes in on the poorly explored world of nanoplastics, which can pass into blood, cells, and your brain
