Ladderpath Approach: How Tinkering and Reuse Increase Complexity and Information
Entropy, 2022 The notion of information and complexity are important concepts in many scientific fields such as molecular biology, evolutionary theory and exobiology. Many measures of these quantities are either difficult to compute, rely on the statistical notion of ...

Crop growth and viability of seeds on Mars and Moon soil simulants
Open Agriculture, 2019 If humans are going to establish a base on the Moon or on Mars they will have to grow their own crops. An option is to use Lunar and Martian regolith. These regoliths are not available for plant growth experiments, therefore NASA has developed regolith ...

Journal of Phycology, EarlyView.Abstract Caves and hypogean environments provide stable microclimates characterized by uniform temperatures, constant humidity, and low light levels. In such sites, extremely low light irradiance can support the growth of subaerial biofilms (SABs) dominated by unique photosynthetic communities of cyanobacteria accompanied by chlorophytes, heterotrophic
