'Janus-faced' nanomaterials pave the way for selectively capturing radioactive pollutants

Reported byPhys.org Science ↗·Sourced by Goodlede

What backs it

A KAIST research team successfully synthesized asymmetric MXene nanomaterials with dual-sided differing atomic compositions, enabling distinct functions for applications including radioactive pollutant removal and electromagnetic wave shielding.

What it doesn’t mean

This is a materials synthesis breakthrough; it does not yet prove these nanomaterials will be commercially viable, cost-effective, or deployed at scale for actual radioactive remediation.
