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 ...

Researchers are developing bioplastic bubbles from algae that could grow, repair, and protect habitats on Mars without ...

Researchers have successfully grown green algae in a specialized bioplastic “shelter” designed to mimic Mars. The Harvard ...

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

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

Species known as marine habitat-forming species -- gorgonians, corals, algae, seaweeds, marine phanerogams, etc.-- are organisms that help generate and structure the underwater landscapes. These ...

Single-celled algae and marine bacteria live in a complex but largely unexplored relationship. Now, a new study shows that the surface of diatoms is a surprisingly diverse habitat for bacteria. A ...

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 ...
