Cities on Mars Built Inside Craters: Vertical Greenhouses Rising Along Ancient Walls
As humanity moves closer to building permanent settlements on Mars, one question becomes more urgent than ever: how do we create habitats that are both safe and self-sustaining in one of the harshest environments in the Solar System? Surprisingly, part of the answer may already exist on the Red Planet itself. The natural architecture of Martian craters offers an elegant solution: entire cities carved into the crater walls, lined with towering vertical greenhouses that glow with life.

A Breakthrough Device Can Turn Martian Sand into Concrete
For decades, scientists and engineers have been wrestling with one critical question: how can humans build on Mars without bringing tons of materials from Earth? The dream of establishing a long-term settlement on the Red Planet depends on solving this exact challenge. Now, a team of researchers has unveiled a device that could completely transform Martian exploration — a compact machine capable of converting Martian sand, or regolith, into durable concrete. This invention may become the technological cornerstone of future Martian habitats, landing pads, and even entire cities.

A Breakthrough Biopolymer Could Enable Full-Scale Construction on Mars
For decades, the idea of building homes and research bases directly on the surface of Mars existed somewhere between science fiction and long-term planning. The Red Planet is one of the most hostile environments ever considered for human settlement: freezing temperatures, dangerously thin atmosphere, intense radiation, and a complete absence of traditional construction resources. Yet a new scientific breakthrough suggests that the challenges of off-world construction may be far more solvable than previously believed.

A Giant Spinning Cylinder for a Million People: Scientists Reveal Their Most Ambitious Habitat Concept Yet
Imagine walking through a city where the horizon curves upward instead of disappearing into the distance, where sunlight pours in through angled mirrors rather than an open sky, and where lush green parks stretch not across the ground, but along the rising interior walls of an enormous rotating world. This is not a scene from a sci-fi blockbuster. It is a new large-scale engineering proposal developed by a team of astrophysicists and space architects: a massive, rotating space cylinder designed to host up to one million permanent residents.
