French researchers just grew plants that pull nickel from the soil—metal straight from the roots. No mines, no tunnels, no destruction. Harvesting rare metals like crops. The future is wild.

For some reason the posts in my slow thread don't bridge to bluesky, although the post at the top did. So I just have to toot today's #CurrentBiology feature again: proseandpassion.blogspot.com/2026/02/plants-recycling... #science #ecology #metals #recycling #phytomining […]

#Phytomining: Mit Blumen wertvolle #Metalle gewinnen

Die Nachfrage nach Nickel für Batterien steigt enorm. Doch der Bergbau verursacht große Umweltschäden. Pflanzen könnten dabei helfen, Nickel und andere Rohstoffe aus dem Boden zu gewinnen und Flächen zu entgiften […]

I just learned about #phytomining today, where instead of mechanically and chemically separating and concentrating minerals you want, you just plant a bunch of ferns and wait for them to draw up the mineral, crystallizing it within its tissues.

Get ready for INDUSTRIAL FERNS! #science

Critical Minerals? There’s a Plant for That But what phytomining could do is produce some metal while also remediating degraded land, sequestering carbon, and serving as the fuel for energy production or the raw material for biochar fertilizer, syngas, and other chemical creations.

Phytomining uses metal-loving plants like alpine pennycress to extract critical minerals like nickel & cobalt—offering a greener alternative to destructive mining. A niche but promising path for sustainable tech. 🌍🔋 #Phytomining #GreenTech #CriticalMinerals

Here's how flowers can harvest vital metals – DW – 09/23/2025 As demand for nickel grows, plants could help suck out vital raw materials from soil. Could this replace conventional mining that's harmful to the environment?

Ach, więc są rośliny, które akumulują w sobie metale z gleby i ktoś zrobił z tego #biznes. Sadzi się takie rośliny na hektarach nieużytków, zbiera się, suszy, mieli a potem z tego zmielonego proszku chemicznie odzyskuje nikiel, cynk, złoto albo cokolwiek innego. W ilościach homeopatycznych, ma […]
