Innovative Students Invent Biosensor That Can Detect Gold In Mining Areas, Netizens in Awe

By • May 8, 2023 • Schools Gist

Cursory: Students from KNUST and Ashesi University have won praise for their innovative new product that will benefit the mining industry. The students created a biosensor that is helpful for small-scale miners and can find gold in the soil. Social media users have praised the pupils for being creative and contributing to the resolution of pressing national issues.

Following the unveiling of their new innovation, a group of students from Ashesi University and Kwame Nkrumah University of Science and Technology (KNUST) have demonstrated their ability to solve problems. The ten creative students have created a biosensor that can find gold in dirt.

According to a post on Ashesi University’s Facebook page, the new invention would transform small-scale mining in the nation by supporting small-scale miners and reducing the usage of other hazardous prospecting techniques, such as land damage.

The brilliant students from Ashesi University are Michael Boateng, Trish Maduche, Rosemond Tawiah, Edith Boakye, Vera Bordah, Gideon Bonsu, Elijah Boateng and Leeroy Magora.

The two KNUST students who joined to make the new invention a success include Sandra Acquah and Betty Essien.

Father Chris: Bioengineering!!! Is it eco friendly gold detection method or genetic engineering.

Father Chris: I have read the bigger article. Biosensor, interchangeable biological parts. Is it the scientific community that is sick or they mean to charm us out of competition. Someone needs to do some explaining. What is bioengineering about this. Is someone sick or someone is going to cure me of my ignorance or engineering means ‘anything or once it solves a problem’. Freedom to apply knowledge, you need not mislead those of us in ancillary areas.

Mi Lli Cent: KNUST should do more of such research and stop doing ones that tells us to stop eating Gobe, mole Koko and the likes????

Lloyd Amoah: Great that Ashesi is collaborating with the older, more experienced universities in Ghana. These universities attract some of the best brains in Ghana and have some of the leading academics in their fields in the world. There is a rich intellectual ecosystem that is worth tapping.

Gyeni Akesse:That must be innovative. I hope it gets scaled up and accepted in the industry. Currently, mercury is mostly used.

Paa Solo Koomson: Wow that’s amazing..

Samuel Berhanu: May God bless your future.

Michael Adu-Carol:Wow. Very impressive
