It's a shame that the message was lost when we shot the messenger and didn't upvote this topic. The writing quality aside, even if this were FICTION, the idea of using 'nanobeads' or magnets to bind to and extract an undesirable element from a target environment was the eye opener for me. What other ways can this/has this concept been applied, inside or outside of biology?

Even if the DARPA grant leads to a dead end, there's bound to be some interesting side effects to pursuing this. I wish them luck and will be on the lookout for more related articles—even poorly written ones.
