Chinese scientists create AI-powered robot chemist who can help you breathe on Mars!

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.

We Can Travel To Mars In The Future!

In an interview with Nature, Jiang said his group had hit upon the secret to making 60 grams of oxygen per hour from the material. This can remove the need for astronauts to carry an oxygen cylinder with them when they travel to the red planet.

Can Mars Be Turned Into A Farmland?

Jiang has also claimed that the robot could also be used to fertilise plants on Mars. He claimed that the robot is
