Their focus was harnessing oxygen from the carbon dioxide (CO2) molecules that constitutes most of Mars’ atmosphere. To help this, the study says, the researchers created a plasma-based method. “The ...
MOXIE’s methods are efficient and reliable in converting Mars’ atmosphere into pure oxygen. With In-Situ Resource Utilization (ISRU), like another experiment that used a plasma-based method to create ...
We have traveled to Mars, made working artificial hearts, explored the deepest depths of the Mariana Trench, and sequenced the human genome, and yet, we haven’t been able to make artificial blood. Why ...
Fire, water, sleep, matter... everything works differently in zero-gravity. So, experiments on ISS tend to throw up surprises ...
This manner of operation means that an ion thruster and a small mass of fuel can theoretically create a much larger delta-V than chemical rockets, perfect for long-range space missions to Mars and ...
Potential Solvents Identified for Building on Moon and Mars Jan. 11, 2024 — Researchers ... discovered that high energy electrons in Earth's plasma sheet are contributing to weathering processes ...
Octapharma Plasma says all of its more than 195 blood-plasma collection centers in 35 states nationwide — including three in Columbus — have been closed by what the company is blaming on IT ...
Lower temperatures are a boost, too. If we warmed Mars to Earth’s temperature, it’s atmosphere would lose oxygen and nitrogen more quickly than it already does. We could end up giving Mars ...
Apr. 24, 2023 — New NASA InSight research reveals that Mars has a liquid core rich in sulfur and oxygen, leading to new clues about how terrestrial planets form, evolve and potentially sustain ...
It's like an otherworldly Etch a Sketch. NASA's history-making Ingenuity helicopter covered a lot of ground on Mars over the past three years, as a new video shows. The video, which was released ...
The basalt shared properties with a sample brought to Earth on Apollo 11, so researchers ground down the basalt into the very ...
The basalt found in Duluth's abandoned quarry shared properties with a sample brought to Earth on Apollo 11, so researchers ...
