Researchers used a synthetic version of moon dust to build working solar panels, which could eventually be created within – and used to power – a moon base of the future

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,

The same dirt that clings to astronauts’ boots may one day keep their lights on, say scientists. German researchers have created solar cells made out of simulated moon dust. The team explained that the cells convert sunlight into energy efficiently,
