Missions to the moon or Mars could get more sustainable life support from a chemical reaction that turns the carbon dioxide exhaled by astronauts into carbon nanotubes and water – which is then ...

A new electrochemical device holds potential to directly split carbon dioxide (CO2) into carbon and pure oxygen. The team from Nanjing University in China states that this technique could prove ...

The Perseverance rover, currently exploring Mars, isn't just performing scientific analyses and collecting samples. It also carries a small machine on board that could change the future of Mars ...

Carbon dioxide is being converted into oxygen on Mars thanks to an invention undergoing testing that could lead to the colonization of the red planet. Day and night across the seasons, a ...

Humanity has always dreamed of traveling to alien worlds, and in some respects (read on a very small scale), we've already done that. But hardcore dreamers imagine a time when alien worlds in our ...

If humans want to explore Mars in the future, they’ll need to create oxygen. Now, a small device the size of a toaster is on the planet doing just that. In a study released this week in the journal ...

(Bloomberg) -- SpaceX founder Elon Musk has predicted that a manned mission to Mars would touch down in 2029 — the first step in humankind’s attempts at interplanetary colonization. But there’s much ...

A robotic chemist working autonomously in a lab has developed an oxygen-producing catalyst from minerals found in Martian meteorites. The same procedure could one day be used to provide oxygen for ...
