Harvard Scientists Grow Algae in Mars-Like Conditions, Paving Way for Space Habitats

Researchers show algae can grow in Mars-like atmospheric pressure conditions. If humans are ever to establish permanent settlements beyond Earth, they will need to build habitable structures. However, transporting large quantities of industrial materials for construction poses major logistical and financial challenges. Scientists at the Harvard John A. Paulson School of Engineering and Applied Sciences [...]

Could Bioplastics be the Solution to Living Beyond Earth?

An international team of scientists led by the Harvard School of Engineering and Applied Sciences (SEAS) proposed a new method for living beyond Earth. Their experiment demonstrated how bioplastic structures can be grown using algae, which would be rugged enough to survive the hostile Martian environment.
