Scientists develop a 'cosmic concrete' that is twice as strong as regular concrete

Manchester scientists develop a 'cosmic concrete' that is twice as strong as regular concrete.

Scientists used simulated Martian soil mixed with potato starch and a pinch of salt to create the material.

StarCrete had a compressive strength of 72 Megapascals (MPa), which is over twice the strength of ordinary concrete.

The material could be used to build homes on Mars.
