Oxygen Molecule

The robot chemist worked on the samples from Mars for six weeks without any human intervention and synthesised 243 different molecules.

Organic molecules are the key building blocks of life on Earth that are made primarily of carbon and hydrogen and often other elements like oxygen, nitrogen, phosphorus, and sulphur.

A team of researchers has produced a new plasma-based method through which the resources available in the Martian environment can be utilised to make oxygen. The method would not only allow astronauts to breathe on the planet during future Mars missions, but could also help make fuel, building materials, and fertilisers there.

Researchers have claimed that Mars, the red planet is losing water more quickly than what theory as well as past observations would suggest.

OSIRIS-REx, which flew last week within a scant 19km of the asteroid Bennu some 2.25 million kilometres from Earth, found traces of hydrogen and oxygen molecules.

High protein vegetables: Protein is used to transport haemoglobin that carries oxygen to all the cells of our body, or specialised proteins that carry vitamins and minerals to the cells that need them

Scientists have for the first time detected abundant oxygen in the atmosphere of a comet which streaked past the Sun in August, a surprise finding that may change our understanding of the evolution of our solar system.

Measurements suggested that oxygen molecules in the comet's gassy halo must have existed "before or at" its formation.
