Did you know? 🌌 Scientists are developing an artificial photosynthesis device to create oxygen in space, paving the way for future space missions to Mars & beyond! 🚀✨ Learn how innovation breathes life into the cosmos! 🌒🌍
No, there is no oxygen in space. Therefore, scientists and engineers must figure out how to best provide crucial resources to the people who first set foot on these foreign worlds.
“A PEC device operates as an artificial photosynthesis device, integrating in a similar way to natural photosynthesis the processes of light absorption, charge separation and catalysis,” says Katharina Brinkert of the University of Warwick, a co-author of the study. “Moreover, they could combine the production of oxygen with the ‘removal’ of carbon dioxide and the production of fuels — a great advantage,” says Brinkert. “We have shown that when they are combined with solar concentrators, they actually provide a viable possibility for space applications.”Zooming out, there are other ways to produce resources in foreign space environments., or MOXIE, an oxygen-producing module on one of the Martian rovers.

Scientists learn about fatigue resistance of materials from bivalve hingeRecently, flexible and foldable devices have developed at a dramatic rate. More and more foldable devices appear in people's lives. Long-term service requires the folded parts to endure repeated deformation which might cause fatigue damage to the devices. Consequently, the damage will affect the normal function of the devices.
