An artificial intelligence algorithm successfully developed a catalyst for extracting oxygen from Martian meteorites in just six weeks.
This task, if performed by a human using standard chemical screening (where each full cycle takes five hours to find an optimal catalyst from the same composition of Martian rocks), would have taken two thousand years.
The project is being spearheaded by scientists from China and presented by @science
