Can food crops grow in the dark? Scientists are working out how.

On By C86 Team

Science fiction stories imagined future humans living in underground cities on Mars, in hollowed-out asteroids, and on free-floating space stations far from the sun. But if humans are ever to survive in any of those harsh and alien environments, they’ll need ways to grow food using limited resources—and photosynthesis, the highly successful but energy-inefficient process by which plants convert sunlight into sugar, might not cut it. . Now some scientists are wondering if it is possible to produce food more efficiently by skipping photosynthesis altogether and growing plants in the dark. The idea sounds as sci-fi as cities on Mars.Read News
