Space station biomining experiment demonstrates rare earth element extraction in microgravity and Mars gravity
Microorganisms are employed to mine economically important elements from rocks, including the rare earth elements (REEs), used in electronic industries and alloy production. We carried out a mining experiment on the International Space Station to test hypotheses on the bioleaching of REEs from basal...
