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 ...

Those are the findings of researchers who were able to create solar panels out of simulated Moon dust and suggest that it could be possible to do the same with the real thing. The work follows ...

Scientists are developing solar panels from moon dust that could turn the Moon’s surface into an energy source for future ...

The “moonglass,” smelted on the moon itself, would then be used as shielding for perovskite-based solar panels. The panels could be used as a source of power for a lunar facility. Perovskites ...

Lugging a solar furnace to melt it could slash the need to launch bulky power gear from Earth You've perhaps heard of using ...

German scientists believe that power generation for future habitats on the moon could be achieved by manufacturing halide ...

Researchers have successfully created solar cells from simulated moon dust that could fuel power. The cells the scientists developed should convert sunlight into energy efficiently and withstand ...

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 ...

Astronauts could build solar panels using the Moon to allow us to live in space, scientists have suggested. The new research would allow future explorers of space to build their own ways of ...
