Space-based experiments show fungi can efficiently extract valuable metals from meteorites in microgravity, advancing prospects for asteroid biomining and sustainable resource use. As humans look ...
A meteorite chip sat in a small container, bathed in liquid, while the International Space Station floated overhead. Inside, ...
When we eventually mine asteroids, humans and robots will not leave unprotected microbes on the surface. Instead, machines ...
Microbes could be the future space miners, helping humans survive on long-term missions by ...
A fungus aboard the ISS extracted palladium from meteorite rock, hinting at future space mining powered by living microbes.
We refuse to be experimental zones for climate change programs that have unproven benefits and unknown environmental impacts, such as lithium extraction. We’re two community advocates and concerned ...
We have developed a new DNA extraction experiment for high schools. It uses the concept “Life possesses not only unity, but also diversity” to teach Japanese and American students that various ...
