Getting enough power to support human life on the Moon isn’t just a matter of plugging in solar panels. Every kilogram sent into space can cost over a million euros. That makes traditional solar ...

Then, they used a tiny particle accelerator to bombard the dust with mock solar wind for several days—the equivalent of 80,000 years on the moon, based on the high dose of the particles used.

Since the 1960s, a leading hypothesis has suggested that the Sun itself might be responsible, with its relentless stream of charged particles, known as the solar wind, interacting with the Moon's ...

This discovery reinforces the theory that solar wind is a primary source of water on the Moon, potentially impacting future lunar missions like Artemis. Since the Apollo missions in the 1960s ...

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 ...
