Nova-mining (noun): The hypothetical process of using a planet-sized object to collect and process the dust expelled by a supernova explosion in order to create new materials. The term conveys the idea of using advanced technology and resources to harness the energy and materials expelled during a supernova event.
In the future, scientists hope to develop nova-mining techniques to collect and process the materials expelled during a supernova event, in order to create new resources for humanity.
