Chinese scientists say they have developed a robotic fish that can remove microplastic particles from water environments.

Researchers working on the project say the robots could help to clean up plastic pollution in oceans around the world.

The robotic swimmers are about 1.3 centimeters long. They are made of a soft chemical compound. The robots are designed to absorb microplastics while moving through the water.

The project was launched by a team at Sichuan University in southwestern China. The researchers said the robots have already performed well in shallow water and they plan to carry out more tests in deeper waters.

The scientists reported their findings in a new study in Nano Letters. The publication comes from the American Chemical Society, a nonprofit organization supported by the U.S. Congress.

Heard China police also developed a system to monitor and capture thieves and prostitutes in the streets. If the CCTV cameras see someone stand around the same location for more than 5 mins and the person repetitively walk around that location, later talk to strangers, it will send signals to the police to arrest them.

They capture wrongly sometimes, a mother stood along the street waiting for his son coming back from work, later got arrested as prostitute. The son later went to police station to beg them release his mum.

China developed things that help mankind. USA developed virus and chemicals to destroy mankind.

And kokee suck angmo coks.
