A Greek scientist teaching at the Caltech Chemistry and Chemical Engineering department in the United States, Dr. Konstantinos P. Giapis, was head of a team of US scientists that have developed a small, portable device that can generate oxygen from carbon dioxide, ANA reports.
Potential uses for the technology include manned space exploration, enabling astronauts to generate the oxygen they breathe in spacecraft, space stations or future Mars colonies instead of transporting air from earth, while it may also inspire methods for reducing carbon dioxide on earth.
