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

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

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.

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 ...

About 30 harmful blooms plagued Arizona waters last year, affecting parts of Lake Havasu, Saguaro and Canyon lakes and Tempe ...

Blue-green algae blooms can produce toxins that are harmful to humans, pets, and aquatic animals. In 2005 a toxic green algae bloom in the St. Johns River was so extensive it was called “The ...

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 ...
