Bioplastic habitats could sustain algae growth for space colonization
Monday, 07 July 2025 11:57
In a step toward sustainable extraterrestrial living, researchers at the Harvard John A. Paulson School of Engineering and Applied Sciences (SEAS) have demonstrated that green algae can thrive in bioplastic shelters under Mars-like conditions. The findings point to a future in which space habitats can grow-and even regenerate-using biological materials.
