New progress in emigrating to Mars: Can artificial photosynthesis be carried out on Mars?

On one occasion, in a CCTV program, members of the Nano Society saw the power of Academician Yang. "It is entirely possible for human beings to immigrate to Mars in the future", "artificial photosynthesis" and "using the complex formed by nanowires and bacteria to synthesize carbon dioxide into fuel and oxygen!" These enlightened views fascinate the students.

Yang Peidong's here! Yang Peidong, thin and elegant, wears simply. However, he is the nano-coffee that students in Dushu Lake School want to see most! He is a top international expert on nano-materials, a member of the National Academy of Sciences and the Academy of Science and Arts, and a pioneer and founder in the global field of nano-optoelectronics and nano-energy.

Today, the students' wishes have come true! Academician Yang has come to Suzhou! He brought the latest report "Frontier Technology and Application Prospect of Nanoscience". About 200 leaders and experts from various related industries came here, and the members were fortunate to attend and listen to this report.

At the meeting, Academician Yang introduced the main research results of his team: hydrogen catalyst, artificial photosynthesis and Mars program. 70% biologists believe that the earth will face the sixth extinction, and it has been put on the agenda to save mankind through planet migration before the disaster. The most ambitious is elon musk, who wants to send 1 10,000 people to Mars. Yang Peidong, a material chemist and a professor at the University of California, Berkeley, released the latest results on artificial photosynthesis, which caused a shock in the industry, because Yang Peidong's team achieved a solar energy conversion rate of 0.38% under the environment of about 200 hours of natural sunlight, which was the same as that of natural leaves. After that, many people naturally associated artificial photosynthesis with the transformation of the Martian atmosphere. Soon, Yang Peidong's team attracted the attention of the National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA) of the United States, because this technology brought hope to human Martian immigrants. But the value of artificial photosynthesis goes far beyond this, it will effectively slow down global warming and dependence on non-renewable resources.

In the interactive communication session, the audience raised their hands to ask questions, and our members and classmates were not willing to lag behind. Even the organizers were moved by the enthusiasm of their classmates. Committee member Chen Yihua's favorite class at ordinary times is nano class. He asked Academician Yang: "Who has benefited the most from your research results?" Academician Yang replied humorously: "What we are doing now is to immigrate to Mars. After success, it will benefit all mankind! " Members asked about the quantum dot screen of the scientific research product of Academician Yang's team: "Will the product price be high? Can ordinary people bear it? " Academician Yang gave a serious answer to the question of grounding gas: "At present, the TV set with quantum dot screen is really expensive, but with mass production, the price will also drop after the cost drops." As for Academician Yang's research direction-artificial photosynthesis on Mars, Chen Yihua asked: "The solar energy on Mars is very weak. How to solve this problem? " Academician Yang patiently introduced: "The solar energy on Mars is indeed weaker than that on Earth, but the concentration of carbon dioxide is very high, which can be compensated to some extent."

Middle school students can ask such valuable questions, which makes the guests present pay tribute, and Academician Yang also looks at this group of middle school students with new eyes. After the meeting, Academician Yang also took photos with members and tutors. He encouraged our members that in the middle school stage, the key is to cultivate interest, be willing to think and have a sense of innovation.

This face-to-face communication with the big coffee has made the members full of gains. The charm of cutting-edge science and technology, the unpretentious moral character of scientists, the spirit of concentrating on research, and the lofty ambition of seeking welfare for mankind have given children spiritual enlightenment.
