Algae-Grown Bioplastic Passes Mars Pressure Test, Boosting Hopes for Red Planet Habitats
Scientists have successfully grown algae in bioplastic chambers under Mars-like conditions, marking a step toward sustainable habitats for astronauts. The chambers, made from polylactic acid, supported photosynthesis and stabilized liquid water. This breakthrough suggests self-replicating biomaterials could reduce Earth-based resupply, advancing lo...

NASA Crew-11 Astronauts Begin Pre-Launch Quarantine Ahead of July 2025 Flight
NASA’s Crew-11 astronauts have entered the final stage before launch: a two-week quarantine designed to prevent illness before their mission to the ISS. Led by commander Zena Cardman, the four-person team also includes Nick Hague, Thomas Pesquet (ESA), and Alexander Grebenkin (Roscosmos). The team will launch no earlier than July 31 from Kennedy ...

NASA-ISRO Launch Joint Space Biology Experiments on Axiom Mission 4
NASA and ISRO are launching a series of innovative biological and technological experiments aboard Axiom Mission 4, targeting a June 10 liftoff. Investigations will explore muscle cell health, seed germination, algae growth, and the survival of tardigrades in space. They will also study astronaut interactions with electronic displays. These microgr...

Photosynthetic Machinery from Plants Operates Within Hamster Cells, Claims New Study
Researchers introduced red algal chloroplasts into animal cells, achieving 48 hours of photosynthesis activity. Led by Sachihiro Matsunaga, the study used advanced methods for chloroplast integration. Though challenges remain, this breakthrough could lead to photosynthesizing materials for carbon capture and biotechnology

Heart-Shaped Clams Channel Sunlight Using Fiber Optic-Like Structures, Says Study
Heart cockles, small marine bivalves from the Indian and Pacific Oceans, exhibit a unique adaptation in their shells. These structures, resembling fibre-optic cables, channel sunlight to symbiotic algae living within, facilitating photosynthesis while filtering out harmful ultraviolet rays. The algae provide essential nutrients to the clams in retu...

‘Chonkus’ Algae Found Off Italian Coast Holds Promise for Improve Climate Change Situation
The newly identified ‘Chonkus’ strain of cyanobacteria, discovered in Italy's volcanic waters, may be a natural ally in carbon sequestration. With its CO₂-absorbing properties and ability to thrive in extreme environments, Chonkus shows promise in industrial carbon storage and bio-manufacturing, potentially lowering costs while contributing t...
