For the first time, Chinese astronauts have reportedly demonstrated artificial photosynthesis technology in orbit. They have successfully conducted experiments that mimic photosynthesis, converting ...

Chinese astronauts have just created rocket fuel and oxygen in space using a new type of "artificial photosynthesis." The breakthrough technology, which used fairly basic equipment and minimal energy, ...

A monster galaxy from the early universe shows that the cosmos was rich with oxygen when it was only less than 3% of its present age, astronomers have found. The discovery raises questions about how ...

"I was astonished by the unexpected results because they opened a new view on the first phases of galaxy evolution." Astronomers have found oxygen in the farthest, and thus the earliest, galaxy ever ...

Atomic oxygen, a highly reactive species prevalent in low Earth orbit (LEO), poses a persistent challenge to the durability of spacecraft materials. The erosive nature of atomic oxygen results in ...

The model suggests that in a billion years, Earth will lose its oxygen, and with that, humans will cease to exist.

Producing oxygen is tricky under weightless conditions in space. But the addition of a simple magnet can simplify the process of electrolysis, scientists report. The electrolysis system aboard the ...

In space, bubble trouble hampers oxygen production needed for astronauts to breathe. But neodymium magnets could coax bubbles off electrodes in microgravity to boost the efficiency of splitting water ...
