• Salmon Cum useful in extracting rare metals

[QUOTE]A team of researchers affiliated with several academic/research facilities in Japan has found that[B] dried salmon semen can be used to extract rare earth elements (REEs) from liquid ore waste[/B].[/QUOTE] [QUOTE]Milt has phosphate in the sperm DNA, which the researchers reasoned, should attract REEs the same way that bacteria did in the early experiment. To find out, they poured the dry milt into a beaker that already contained a rare earth solution. Subsequent analysis revealed that the milt did indeed pull REEs from the solution, absorbing them. Putting the results in a centrifuge allowed the researchers to extract the REEs for repurposing. Notably, the process was able to extract the very expensive thulium and lutetium.[/QUOTE] [URL="http://phys.org/news/2015-01-salmon-semen-rare-earth-elements.html#ajTabs"]Source[/URL]
well ok
What an elegantly phrased title. :v:
soon, salmons across the whole world in fish farms: [video=youtube;LZepj6u5Dtc]http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=LZepj6u5Dtc[/video]
Fish. [img_thumb]http://www.bestfreejpg.com/wp-content/uploads/2014/10/salmon_head.jpg[/img_thumb] They look so fucking stupid, but they're so goddamn useful in so many ways.
I wonder if the Japanese can find a way to turn urine or poop into smokeless powder for use as gun propellant.
So I'm gonna be the one to ask huh. How the fuck did they figure it out? "hey I got this tub of dried salmon spooge, lets mix it with some mineral waste and see what happens"
[QUOTE=TheNerdPest14;46963814]I wonder if the Japanese can find a way to turn urine or poop into smokeless powder for use as gun propellant.[/QUOTE] This thread just keeps getting better
I like how OP capitalized "Cum" in the title, as if to emphasize it.

"hey I got this tub of dried salmon spooge, lets mix it with some mineral waste and see what happens"[/QUOTE] Well, they theorised that certain desirable rare earth metals are attracted to a certain phosphorus compound, which also happens to be found in large quantities in salmon cum. So they were like 'fuck it, put it together and see what sticks"
Salmon Semen would have been a better title since it rolls off the tounge better. As a title that is.
[QUOTE=megafat;46963871]Salmon Semen would have been a better title since it rolls off the tounge better. As a title that is.[/QUOTE] With how much salmon I've eaten over the years, I wouldn't be surprised if a little salmon semen rolled off my [i]tounge[/i] a few times.

holy fuck does this mean we get a hyperdrive soon? Thats some scifi shit there
[QUOTE=NeverGoWest;46964841]holy fuck does this mean we get a hyperdrive soon? Thats some scifi shit there[/QUOTE] Salmon cum also has the ability to exceed C so, yes, Warp is now possibly. Salmon cum is now the new Spice
Thought Salmon Cum was somebody's name on my first read. What an unfortunate name. :v:
Man, what [I]can't[/I] salmon cum be used for?

Damn I wonder what it taste like
[QUOTE=Ignhelper;46965530]Damn I wonder what it taste like[/QUOTE] Like salmon cum.
Salmon cum confirmed for superior to graphene. All hail our new (millions of) overlords.
I wonder how Halal this procedure is.

"hey I got this tub of dried salmon spooge, lets mix it with some mineral waste and see what happens"[/QUOTE] It sounds like something that an alchemist would do when searching for the goddamn elixir of life! Of all the things to extract rare earths from slag, of course it would be fish spunk. A damn weird solution, but an excellent step forward for science nonetheless.
The only reason why salmon milt is being used in particular is because every year, salmon fisheries discard thousands of tonnes of that stuff, and people figured that we might as well find a use for it. We could reasonably use any other source of DNA, or possibly even any source of substrate that we can stick phosphate groups on. DNA just happens to be a convenient source of such a reagent, and salmon DNA is cheaply available.
I dunno, something smells fishy about this. [highlight](User was banned for this post ("News Pun" - Big Dumb American))[/highlight]
But first, you have to extract the salmon cum. There is somebody who wakes up every morning, punches the clock at eight sharp, and spends the rest of the day jacking off fish.
[QUOTE=Big Dumb American;46967110]There is somebody who wakes up every morning, punches the clock at eight o'clock sharp, and spends eight solid hours jacking off fish.[/QUOTE] everyone from the deviantart appreciation station would probably volunteer for this
