NASA Tests Solar-Powered System to Extract Oxygen from Lunar Soil
NASA has tested a solar-powered prototype that extracts oxygen from simulated lunar soil using concentrated sunlight and carbon. The Carbothermal Reduction Demonstration heats moon dust to produce carbon monoxide, later converted into oxygen and fuel, potentially enabling astronauts to generate air and propellant directly on the Moon.

ISRO Successfully Tests Semi-Cryogenic Engine for Future Heavy-Lift Launches
ISRO has successfully conducted a hot test for the semi-cryogenic SE2000 engine, a crucial step in enhancing future heavy-lift space missions. The Power Head Test Article (PHTA) validated key engine subsystems, including the gas generator, turbo pumps, and pre-burner. The new propulsion system, using liquid oxygen and kerosene, offers improved effi...

Chinese Astronauts Successfully Generate Oxygen and Rocket Fuel Through Artificial Photosynthesis in Space
Chinese astronauts aboard the Tiangong space station have made a significant breakthrough by successfully producing oxygen and rocket fuel through artificial photosynthesis. Using carbon dioxide and water, the process mimics the natural photosynthesis found in plants, with the potential to produce methane or formic acid with minor adjustments. Unli...

Oxygen Production Discovered in Deep-Sea Metal Nodules, Researchers Investigate
Scientists have made a groundbreaking discovery in the deep ocean, where oxygen is being produced by metal nodules found on the seafloor. This surprising process, which occurs in total darkness, challenges the long-held belief that oxygen is only generated through sunlight and photosynthesis. The research team, led by Prof Andrew Sweetman from the ...

MIT Engineers Create Miniature Zinc-Air Batteries for Cell-Sized Robots, Revolutionising Autonomous Technology
MIT engineers have made a significant breakthrough with the development of a tiny zinc-air microbattery, measuring just 0.1 millimetres in length and 0.002 millimetres thick, about the width of a human hair. This innovative battery captures oxygen from the air to oxidise zinc, generating a potential of up to 1 volt, which is sufficient to operate s...

OnePlus Reportedly Working on AI-Powered Voice Recording Summary Feature
OnePlus is reportedly working on an artificial intelligence feature that will allow users to generate text summaries from voice recordings. The feature was spotted in the beta version of the Oxygen OS 14.1, and supports multiple audio formats, as per the report. The feature is currently not visible and those who participated in the beta programme w...
