A potential sustainable energy source for Mars is being developed. Researchers used the nanomaterials from the Red Planet, which were waste products from NASA.

The transformational potential of Martian nanomaterials has been discovered by researchers at the University of Sussex, which may pave the way for sustainable habitation on the Red Planet.

Dr. Conor Boland, a lecturer in materials physics at the University of Sussex, oversaw a research team that examined the possibilities of nanomaterials-extremely small components thousands of times smaller than a human hair-for clean energy production and building materials on Mars. The team used resources and methods currently used on the International Space Station and by NASA.
