Moon dust is quickly becoming a magic material, from which oxygen and other elements such as titanium can be extracted, that can be compacted down to form bricks to construct lunar shelters, or ...

New research using moon rocks from the Apollo missions has revealed hidden dangers facing future astronauts. The study, ...

We tend to think of the moon as little more than a barren rock, but it’s very, very dusty. However, this dust is a little different than the stuff that collects on our bookshelves. Every time an ...

Languages: English. Troublesome lunar dust could soon be transformed into solar cells to help power moon bases and humanity's push to explore further out into space. This is the promise of an ...

In a study published in Device, researchers created solar cells made out of simulated moon dust. The cells convert sunlight into energy efficiently, withstand radiation damage, and mitigate the ...

be lying around on the moon itself. The paper explores the idea of using the lunar regolith—the thin layer of dust and small particles that covers the lunar surface—to fabricate glass for ...

A new approach has now shown how to make solar cells out of moon dust. Later this decade, the US space agency’s Artemis III mission plans to return astronauts to the moon for the first time in more ...

When astronauts went to the Moon for the Apollo missions, they found that moon dust was a major problem. The dust caused runny eyes and irritated throats, and there have since been indications ...

Those are the findings of researchers who were able to create solar panels out of simulated Moon dust and suggest that it could be possible to do the same with the real thing. The work follows ...

Lunar samples show evidence that solar wind could be behind the water molecules on the moon's surface, according to NASA. The results could shine a light on how water ice collects in cold traps formed ...
