Scientists in China have developed a method to extract water from lunar soil and use it to convert carbon dioxide into oxygen and chemical fuels — a potential breakthrough for long-term human missions on the Moon. In a new study published in Joule, researchers from The Chinese University of Hong Kong, Shenzhen 香港中文大学（深圳）, and Nanjing University demonstrate how this one-step, sunlight-powered system could reduce the need to transport water and fuel from Earth.
