extraterrestrial space may not be as far away as we think. A group of researchers in China have seemingly created a miracle — a way to make oxygen on Mars. The team, based at the University of Science & Technology of China has come up with an AI-powered ‘robot chemist’ that might be able to extract oxygen from water on the red planet. According to a Nature.com report, the robot uses material found in the Mars soil to produce catalysts that break down water and release oxygen. “If you think about the challenge of going to Mars, you have to work with local materials,” TOLD Andy Cooper, a chemist at the University of Liverpool, UK in an interview with Nature. “So I can see the logic behind it.” The study was published in the Nature Synthesis journal and was led by Professor Jung Jiang. Jiang and his team used a mobile machine which was shaped like a refrigerator with a robotic limb to assess five meteorites that had originated on Mars or even if found on Earth, were believed to have resembled those on Mars. The team set out to discover if the machine could form catalysts from the material. The AI-powered tool used acid and alkali to dissolve the material and evaluate the compounds. This formed the basis for inventing a one-of-a-kind formula that could break down water and produce oxygen.

WARANGAL: Two decades ago, Damera Yakamma's husband, a cotton farmer in a southern Indian village, committed suicide by consuming pesticide because of his mounting debts, leaving his widow in charge of their two acres of land. After that, the mother of four — then in her mid-twenties — decided she did not want any more chemicals entering her home. With the help of a non-profit in Telangana state's Warangal district, Yakamma and some other local farmers grew their first organic cotton crop in 2005 using natural manure and bio-pesticides. They benefited from lower costs, better health and soil, and premium market prices as buyers sought their higher-quality cotton. But they lost their organic certification in 2015 after a genetically modified cotton variety known as BT, promising higher yields and pest resistance, spread so widely across India that they could no longer buy indigenous seeds from dealers. Still the farmers stuck with natural growing methods to produce cotton sustainably, in a bid to meet growing demand from fashion brands that are increasingly adopting targets to cut climate-heating emissions in their value chains. According to the Confederation of British Industry, in 2020 sustainable cotton accounted for nearly 20% of the global cotton supply.
