Researchers at Georgia Tech tested copper and chemically modified reduced graphene oxide EDS to reduce lunar dust on curved surfaces under simulated lunar conditions.

As lunar missions ramp up with the goal of establishing a permanent human presence on the Moon, scientists are facing an ...

The abundance, distribution, and origin of lunar surface water has recently drawn significant scientific interest, owing to its critical role in future space exploration. A research team from the ...

Collaboration has always been a hallmark of space research. Experts in different disciplines come together to work toward a common goal, and many times achieve that. One of the current goals of space ...

Vision of future solar cell fabrication on the Moon, utilizing raw regolith. Shown are robots that source raw regolith and bring it to a production facility, which fabricates perovskite-based moon ...

Jess Atkin sets her sights high — very high — but her approach is down to earth. The graduate researcher at Texas A&M University successfully raised 16 samples of chickpeas in simulated lunar regolith ...

Solar cells could be made on the lunar surface by melting regolith to form "moonglass." When you purchase through links on our site, we may earn an affiliate commission. Here’s how it works. Breaking ...

Future lunar bases could be powered by solar cells made on-site from melted moon dust. Building items on the moon, using materials that are already there, would be more practical than shipping them ...
