Five scientists have proposed using yeast and gelatin to build houses on Mars. The idea involves 3D printing these biomaterials to create structures that can support life. According to The Conway Daily Sun, the researchers are testing freeze-dried yeast as a potential building material.

CNET notes that the team is also exploring the use of gelatin, citing its ability to be molded into complex shapes. The Register reports that the scientists' proposal is centered around using yeast and gelatin to create a sustainable and self-sufficient habitat for Mars astronauts. The proposal is part of a broader effort to develop technologies that can support human colonization of Mars.

The Register notes that the researchers' work is focused on creating a Martian habitat that can provide a stable and comfortable environment for astronauts. The Conway Daily Sun reports that the team is working to develop a system that can 3D print structures using yeast and gelatin, which could potentially be used to create entire cities on Mars. The Register notes that the researchers' proposal is still in the early stages of development, and further testing is needed to determine the viability of this approach.
