Personal Disclosure: Amazing!
I wonder what both Elon Musk and Scott Manley would have to say about this technology's potential uses and pro and cons that go with it?
Bacteria for Blastoff: Using Microbes to Make Supercharged New Rocket Fuel
Quote:Converting petroleum into fuels involves crude chemistry first invented by humans in the 1800s. Meanwhile, bacteria have been producing carbon-based energy molecules for billions of years. Which do you think is better at the job?
Well aware of the advantages biology has to offer, a group of biofuel experts led by Lawrence Berkeley National Laboratory (Berkeley Lab) took inspiration from an extraordinary antifungal molecule made by Streptomyces bacteria to develop a totally new type of fuel that has projected energy density greater than the most advanced heavy-duty fuels used today, including the rocket fuels used by NASA.
