A look at how local resource use, material innovation, and autonomous construction are enabling practical habitat development ...

Luna Labs has selected UNC Greensboro (UNCG) chemistry professor Nicholas Oberlies to lead a NASA-funded project exploring whether fungi can be grown into building materials for construction on the ...

Why it matters: While not evidence of life, these discoveries show that ancient Mars had complex organic chemistry, ...

A recent study published in PLOS One has revealed a groundbreaking discovery: the toxic chemicals found in Mars’s dirt could potentially be used to build the infrastructure necessary for sustaining ...

On Mars, the colder temperatures and lower gravity will change the creep rates, but not eliminate them. Any serious design will have to account for how thick shells sag over years, how joints ...

Fungi are master engineers capable of building vast networks underground. Now, researchers have harnessed their capabilities to create a living building material that could be a sustainable ...

Scientists are exploring an exciting idea for future space missions: building structures on the Moon using the Moon’s own ...
