Moon Dust to Power: The Solar Tech That Could Fuel Space’s Next Giant Leap
Scientists have created solar cells using simulated Moon dust, potentially solving one of space exploration's biggest challenges: how to generate reliable energy far from Earth. These new cells, made with perovskite and moonglass,
Scientists want to turn moon dust into solar panels
A new study published April 3 in the journal Device suggests that the answer to at least one lunar logistical challenge could, quite literally, 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 solar panels.
