Space Homes and Asteroid Mining
Click meets the Asteroid Mining Corporation and sees space homes built by robot. Back on earth, it’s man versus machine as we put a bricklaying droid to work. And we check out the very latest in cycling tech, including a self-riding bicycle from MIT
Space habitats for life beyond earth revealed as Manchester takes next graphene-enhanced leap
Advanced manufacturing experts from Manchester have revealed what human life in space could look like – with a graphene-enhanced space habitat ..
SOM and University of Manchester Researchers Propose Graphene-Enhanced Space Habitat
Designers at SOM, working in collaboration with an advanced research team at the University of Manchester, have put forward a vision for an outer-space habitat enhanced with graphene—an ultra-rigid and ultra-light material with
Graphene in Space: Wonder Material Strengthens New Space Habitat Prototype
Since it was first isolated in 2004 at The University of Manchester, graphene has been touted as a wonder material that can massively improve the strength of buildings and machines across the globe.
SOM and University of Manchester Researchers Propose Graphene-Enhanced Space Habitat
SOM has entered the interplanetary market as plans for a new space habitat prototype have been unveiled thanks to a collaboration with a team from the Graphene Engineering Innovation
SOM unveils graphene-enhanced space habitat in collaboration with the University of Manchester
The team from The University of Manchester and architecture firm, Skidmore, Owings & Merrill (SOM) are creating a scaled prototype of a space habitat with pressurised vessels, designed to function in space. SOM is behind the world’s tallest building, the Burj Khalifa in Dubai.
SOM and the University of Manchester envision the space habitat of the future
“How will we live in space?” is a question that Skidmore, Owings & Merrill (SOM) has already broached through its work for the European Space Agency (ESA)’s Moon Village.
Graphene Is Being Used To Strengthen Space Habitats – Here Is How
Graphene was first found out in 2004 at The University of Manchester. It is known to increase the strength of materials and buildings to an exponential level.Now, an international team headed by Dr. Vivek Koncherry at The University of Manchester is making a prototype
Life in space supported by graphene
To boldly go where no man has gone before…. thanks to graphene! A team of researchers from Manchester University and architects from Skidmore, Owings & Merrill unveiled a graphene-enhanced space habitat capable of supporting human life.
Supporting life past Earth could possibly be attainable because of graphene innovation
The Graphene Space Station in low earth orbit—this picture exhibits the highest of the viewing deck with its protecting petal-like shields absolutely open to permit observers to have a novel perspective of earth and our cosmos.
UPDATE ON GRAPHENE DEVELOPMENT AND APPLICATIONS
While it probably exaggerates its near-term importance to tell 2022 graduates that “The future is graphene” (as The Graduate, Benjamin Braddock, was told in the 60s about plastics) , the future is nevertheless very bright for applications
