Solar cells made of moon dust could power future space exploration, suggests a new study. The same dirt that clings to astronauts’ boots may one day keep their lights on, say scientists. German ...

The same dust that settles on astronauts’ boots might one day provide energy for their Moon habitats. Researchers have developed solar cells crafted from simulated Moon dust that efficiently convert ...

How can future lunar astronauts have power on a future lunar settlement without needing to have it delivered from Earth? This is what a recent study published in Device hopes to address as a team of ...

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 ...

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 international team of ...

The same dirt that clings to astronauts' boots may one day keep their lights on. Researchers created solar cells made out of simulated Moon dust. The cells convert sunlight into energy efficiently, ...

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 ...

A future Moon base is closer to reality than ever before. With missions like Artemis 3 planned for 2026 and a lunar outpost on the horizon, one challenge stands in the way: energy. Getting enough ...
