New Research Shows that Graphene Oxide Can Easily Clean Toxins from Radioactive Water

When it comes to cleaning up radioactive materials after a spill, scientists need to get pretty creative. From robots to bacteria, anything that will remove dangerous radiation from the environment is a step in the right direction. Researchers from Rice University and Lomonosov Moscow State University recently discovered a new tool to help with hazardous material removal: It turns out that graphene oxide is able to clump toxins together, making it easy for them to be separated from water....<br><br><a href='https://inhabitat.com/new-research-shows-that-graphene-oxide-can-easily-clean-toxins-from-radioactive-water/'>READ ARTICLE</a>
