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.

A toxic algae bloom is disrupting Fourth of July weekend recreation at one of the West’s most popular lakes. National Park Service officials detected the presence of cyanotoxins in the mouth of Lake ...

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 ...

After a warm, dry spring and early summer that hammered the winter snowpack, Montana’s rivers are already showing signs of ...
