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 ...

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 ...

NASA's plan to establish a permanent human presence on the moon will require making better use of lunar resources. A new approach has now shown how to make solar cells out of moon dust. Later this ...

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 ...

German scientists have proposed power generation for future habitats on the moon could be achieved by manufacturing halide perovskite cells locally, using regolith-based moonglass. In the paper “Moon ...

There are many aspects of the human presence on the Moon that need to come together in just the right fashion for a potential colony up there (and elsewhere in the solar system) to succeed. One of the ...

After returning to Earth, these cells from the AVATAR experiment will reveal how space radiation and microgravity affect the human body.

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 ...

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 ...
