CUSTOMER SPOTLIGHT
CUSTOMER SPOTLIGHT... This month we're featuring a project by Tim Sorensen, who says: "Over the last month I built a device that can be used to move heavy trailers around inside of a garage or even out in the yard. This allows you to be out of a vehicle so you can maneuver the trailer into some very tight spaces. Speedy Metals custom cut every piece of steel in the project to my specifications which saved me a lot of work. Thanks Speedy Metals!"

DID YOU KNOW?
DID YOU KNOW...? ...that bacteria can convert toxic copper ions into stable, single-atom copper?
The current process for converting copper sulfate into pure copper is expensive and labor-intensive. There is also the risk of exposure to sulfur dioxide and nitrogen dioxide during the smelting process. But scientists have discovered a microbe living in copper mines in Brazil that uses "a unique biological pathway with an array of proteins that can extract copper and convert it into single-atom zero-valent copper."
"The next step for this particular research is harvesting the copper from these cells and using it for practical applications."
