Scientists Make Breakthrough in Oxygen Production on Mars Using Bacteria-Coated Plants and AI-Powered Robot Chemist ( #d1c547be , v0.05)
Scientists have made a groundbreaking discovery in the quest to create oxygen on Mars. A team of researchers has proposed a method that involves using plants coated with a specific bacteria called Chroococcidiopsis Cubana. This bacteria consumes carbon dioxide (CO2) and produces oxygen. The team conducted a 30-day experiment to monitor the oxygen output of the biocoating and found that it consistently produced 0.4 grams of oxygen per day. They named this invention the Green Living Plant.
In a recent development, a Chinese team has shown that it might be possible to produce oxygen on Mars using only material present on the Red Planet. The team used an AI chemist to analyze the composition of Martian meteorites and identify molecules that could be used as catalysts to turn water into oxygen using solar power. The AI chemist found an optimal formula for the catalyst in just two months, a task that would take a human 2,000 years. The resulting catalyst performed well in tests, operating steadily for over 550,000 seconds. The researchers believe that in the future, an oxygen factory could be established on Mars with the assistance of AI chemist.
The combination of these two breakthroughs holds great potential for future space exploration and colonization efforts. The bacteria-coated plants and the AI chemist's catalyst could work together to create a sustainable oxygen production system on Mars. However, there are still challenges that need to be overcome for this method to be practical on the Martian surface.
