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...

New Bioplastic Can 'Disintegrate' Into Recyclable, Reusable Components Upon Command
Scientists may be closer than ever to solving the problem of creating easily recyclable and reusable plastics. A group of researchers have created a new bioplastic that can disintegrate into its derivative components upon a disintegrate “command”. The derivatives can then be reused to make high-quality biopolymers for various uses.
