Hidden “electron highways” beneath our feet could revolutionize pollution cleanup
Electrons flow underground in ways far more extensive than once believed, forming networks that link distant chemical zones. Minerals, organic molecules, and specialized bacteria can act as bridges, creating long-distance electron highways. These discoveries hold promise for pollution cleanup strategies, remote remediation, and protecting ecosystems. Scientists now see the subsurface as an interconnected redox system with exciting practical potential.
