A robot chemist powered by artificial intelligence could solve the puzzle of providing oxygen to humans on Mars, according to the results of a new study. The study, published in Nature Synthesis, ...

NASA says it has generated enough oxygen to keep a small dog alive on Mars for at least 10 hours, marking a huge milestone for long-term plans to build bases on the Red Planet. The achievement came ...

The dusty faces of the Moon and Mars conceal unseen hazards for future explorers. Areas of highly oxidising material could be sufficiently reactive that they would produce chemical burns on astronauts ...

A breakthrough instrument on NASA's Mars Perseverance rover is considered a mission success after producing enough oxygen for a small dog to breathe for about 10 hours. The Mars Oxygen In-Situ ...

As we push toward the next phase of human space exploration, there’s a lot of focus on using local materials at our final destination. Anything we can find or make on the Moon, Mars, or elsewhere is ...

NASA’s Perseverance rover has successfully completed an experiment designed to create oxygen on Mars, using a technique that could one day provide astronauts with breathable air, and be used as a key ...

Oxygen on exoplanets can be the result of simple chemical processes rather than biological ones.

We want to go to Mars — problem is, there isn't a lot of oxygen, and transporting it from Earth is complex and expensive. According to a new study though, an AI system can synthesize oxygen from ...

One of the most significant obstacles to human interstellar travel is our inability to breathe in the deep recesses of space. Oxygen is essential to life and isn't available in the same capacity as on ...
