A lab experiment that simulated Mars conditions showed that green algae can grow in plastic containers made from the same ...

If humans are ever going to live beyond Earth, they'll need to construct habitats. But transporting enough industrial material to create livable spaces would be incredibly challenging and expensive.

The experiments show a real chance of creating self-sufficient, closed-loop living spaces using shelters made from ...

Sustainable habitats could be built in space without having to bring materials from Earth, an international team of researchers has shown.

Algae grown under Mars-like conditions could make bioplastic building materials for structures to harbor life in space.

Researchers have successfully grown green algae inside of green algae-derived bioplastic shelters under Mars-like conditions. The experiments are a first step toward designing sustainable habitats for ...

California Dismantles Landmark Environmental Law to Tackle Housing Crisis North Korean operatives and American accomplices ...

Scientists have created living communities of bacteria and fungi that could survive in protective habitats on the Red Planet.

NASA's Perseverance rover is digging deeper into Mars' geologic past as it begins grinding into rock surfaces to expose ...

Synthetic lichens could transform Martian dust into self-growing habitats for future Mars bases and 3D printed buildings.

Crew of NASA's Earthbound Simulated Mars Habitat Emerge After a Year The crew of a NASA mission to Mars emerged from their craft after a yearlong voyage that never left Earth. The four volunteer ...

Future plastic habitats on Mars could be created from locally grown algae that could then host more algae-growing operations. The first step of such a circular system has been shown to work in ...
