Scientists at the University of Manchester have developed StarCrete, a durable, eco-friendly material made from simulated Martian or lunar dust, potato starch, and a pinch of salt, designed to build structures in space. With a compressive strength more than twice that of ordinary concrete, StarCrete offers a simpler, cheaper, and more sustainable alternative to current space construction technologies, avoiding the need for costly equipment and energy-intensive processes. The team’s start-up, DeakinBio, is also working to adapt StarCrete as a greener, low-energy alternative to traditional concrete for use on Earth.
