Humans could live on the Red Planet after boffins extracted oxygen from Martian rock.<\/p>\n
A colony on Mars has long been the stuff of science fiction. But a lack of oxygen there means it has never been realistic in real life.<\/p>\n
The main challenge has been finding a way to create oxygen using only materials already there \u2013 rather than transporting them from Earth at huge cost. Now scientists believe they\u2019ve cracked it \u2013 with Martian meteorites and an AI chemist.<\/p>\n

In two months, the AI bot completed a complex process \u2013 using decomposing water to produce oxygen \u2013 that would take a human chemist 2,000 years. Using five types of Martian meteorite, the AI managed to create a working model that can steadily produce oxygen and withstand temperatures of -37C on Mars.<\/p>\n

\u201cThe AI chemist innovatively synthesized OER catalyst using Martian material based on interdisciplinary cooperation,\u201d said Prof. Luo Yi, leading scientist of the team behind the new report.<\/p>\n
Professor Jun Jiang, from the University of Science and Technology of China said: \u201cThis type of research is of wide interest and is under rapid development in organic\/inorganic material synthesis and discovery. In the future, humans can establish an oxygen factory on Mars with the assistance of an AI chemist. This breakthrough technology brings us one step closer to achieving our dream of living on Mars.\u201d<\/p>\n
And the report's conclusion appears hopeful that humans could actually live on Mars.<\/p>\n
