Scientists develop a living building material for Mars using engineered yeast; it uses far less energy and can be recycled into new bricks

Researchers have developed an innovative living building material designed for potential use on Mars, integrating engineered yeast with sand. This breakthrough material operates with significantly lower energy requirements than traditional high-temperature construction methods. Tests indicate that existing bricks retain their integrity and the yeast’s viability, promoting sustainability. While the engineered yeast does reinforce the material’s strength and structure, additional evaluation is needed to determine its enduring durability in Martian conditions.
