22、. When you wash the clothing, the fibres wash down the drain (下水道), ending up in our rivers, lakes and oceans. This ultimately pollutes our drinking water and the food that we catch from the water. If you cant see microplastics, do you need to worry about them? The simple answer is yes ! In the arti

26、heir ongoing work using input from muscle signals to control devices. Their latest involves full and fine control of drones (无人机) , using just hand and arm gestures to pass through a series of rings.
