In 2025, DLR tested continuous spirulina growth on the ISS for future closed-loop life support; Limnospira indica produced oxygen and edible biomass in microgravity
In a groundbreaking experiment, scientists have successfully cultivated spirulina aboard the International Space Station, paving the way for future Mars exploration. This remarkable blue-green algae can generate oxygen and produce biomass, allowing astronauts to grow food and breathable air independently of Earth. With its high nutritional value and small ecological footprint, spirulina could revolutionize space travel and even enhance disaster relief efforts back on our planet.

In 2025, SAXON Q demonstrated a 4-qubit quantum computer running at room temperature in Germany. 2 years later, the startup opened orders for 128-qubit and 512-qubit systems that fit inside ordinary server racks
In 2025, German startup SAXON Q demonstrated a 4-qubit quantum computer that worked at room temperature. Now, the company is moving much further. It has opened orders for 128-qubit and 512-qubit quantum computers designed to fit inside standard server racks. That matters because quantum machines have long depended on complex cooling systems. SAXON Q’s approach could make quantum computing easier to install, access and use in real-world computing environments.
