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...

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

Scientists Created Solar-Powered Animal Cells by Combining Choloplasts From Algae and Hamster Cells
A team from the University of Tokyo has successfully created hybrid animal cells that can generate energy from sunlight. By integrating chloroplasts from the red algae Cyanidioschyzon merolae into Chinese hamster cells, the researchers demonstrated that these cells can sustain photosynthesis for up to 48 hours. This breakthrough could have signific...
