ITHACA, New York, Dec. 18 -- Cornell University issued the following news:
A tiny, hard-working bacterium - which weighs one-trillionth of a gram - may soon have a large influence on processing rare earth elements in an eco-friendly way.
In a new study, Cornell scientists show that genetically engineering this bacterium could improve the efficiency for the purification of elements found in smartphones, computers, electric cars and wind turbines, and could even boost glo . . .
