New self-growing technology could revolutionize Martian architecture by using living biomaterials to 3D print structures — without human intervention.
Texas A&M University has developed a synthetic lichen system that can form building materials with no outside intervention.
The system grows with only Martian soil simulant, air, light and an inorganic liquid medium.
