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

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

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.

A team of researchers is tapping into the ocean’s vast body of free-floating environmental DNA to catch blooms before they ...
