Bacteria Could Help Synthesize Safe, Stable Copper, Study Shows – Science Times

Copper remains one of the most used metals, with applications for electrical and electronic wiring and a catalyst used in chemical processes for power plants – and a new method of harvesting copper might be more efficient and safer than existing methods.
A team of researchers from the Cullen College of Engineering and the College of Technology at the University of Houston, together with the University of Sao Paulo in Brazil, have presented their studies on how bacteria discovered in copper mines…
