Led by Dr Felix Lang of the University of Potsdam, the research team focused on two unavoidable truths about future lunar life: Settlers will need a lot of solar power, and shipping bulky, Earth-made ...

Lunar travel could be revolutionised by solar panels made from dust which covers the moon’s surface, scientists say. German researchers melted a synthetic version of the moon’s loose surface ...

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 ...

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 ...

In a new study published in Device, scientists have shown that it’s possible to make solar panels using simulated moon dust. These new solar cells can turn sunlight into energy efficiently ...

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 ...

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 ...

Now new research is indicating it might be possible to manufacture solar panels on the moon using the lunar soil, enabling astronauts to generate the power needed to support a colony.
