I just stumbled upon the Journal of Responsible Technology.
Interested? From the "About the Journal" section:
"Emerging technologies affect all aspects of modern life, from individual leisure and organisational structures to societal and political governance. This raises questions about responsible ways of developing, deploying and using emerging, new, and existing technologies."

Completely agree with this notion.
The humble fungus also holds great promise as a catalyst for emerging technologies; enabling sustainable recovery of critical metals (for our green technologies) from waste streams and also shifting a mine from a blemish in the earth’s crust towards more of a “fungal garden”;

Hi! Thanks for sharing. I didn't know this use of mushrooms. Just out of curiosity I have a couple of questions:
1. By what process is the bioleached metal extracted from the mushrooms?
2. Is this process sustainable and bio-compatible or it entails polluting phases?
@krishnadeltoso @philosophy @jquillin thanks for asking the question. The short answer is that the fungus achieves this through biological mechanisms such as acidolysis and complexolysis. Relative to current methods, can be considered very low-footprint.
One of the papers I cite provides an excellent overview and nice detailed schematics of the process; https://www.sciencedirect.com/science/article/pii/S2666765721000545
@krishnadeltoso @philosophy @jquillin Encouraging to hear. That was the fundamental hope for Formresilience.com - to inspire and open doors within the domain of sustainability through the synthesis of art and science. Let me know, if you, or someone you know would be interested in being a contributor on the site
@formresilience @philosophy @jquillin
Thanks! I'll go through the paper you suggest this weekend 👍
You're opening a door in my mind 🙂
