Chinese Scientists Make Strides in Generating, Storing Energy on Mars
Chinese researchers have come up with a radical proposal that involves generating energy using the Martian atmosphere. According to University of Science and Technology of China (USTC) scientists, the toxic atmosphere on Mars could serve as a medium for generating and storing energy in the future. This could potentially provide a secure and reliable source of energy for the first settlers on Mars and allow scientists stationed on the planet to conduct research over the long term without worrying about energy. USTC researcher Shi Lingfeng says the atmosphere could act as an ‘energy converter’ as the air on Mars, which…
