Revolutionary Metal Extraction Techniques from Fungi on the International Space Station
As human space exploration delves deeper into the cosmos, the urgency for sustainable methods to harvest local resources grows, rendering frequent resupply missions increasingly impractical. Asteroids, particularly those abundant in valuable metals like platinum group elements, have become key targets. Recently, scientists conducted a groundbreaking experiment aboard the International Space Station (ISS), utilizing bacteria and [...] The post Re…
The prospects for large-scale human expansion within the Solar System are inextricably linked to the development of off-world mineral extraction methods. As an alternative to traditional industrial approaches, scientists are refining biomining technologies—the extraction of metals using specialized microorganisms. Results of the recent BioAsteroid experiment, conducted aboard the ISS, confirmed the high efficiency of biogenic mining even in micr…
