Researchers discovered a metal-absorbing plant that cleans polluted soil. Scientists have identified a rare type of plant known as a hyperaccumulator, which can absorb and store unusually high levels of heavy metals like nickel from contaminated soil. One such plant, Phyllanthus rufuschaneyi, discovered in Malaysia, has shown the ability to extract up to 1% of its dry weight in nickel—a remarkable trait that could help clean up polluted land through a process called phytoremediation. This breakthrough, documented in research published in Scientific Reports, offers a sustainable and cost-effective way to restore toxic soils and even recover valuable metals for reuse.
