Scientists to use solar fusion to make moon roads

By on October 17, 2023 0 14 Views

Scientists have conducted experiments on Earth using laser-induced fusion to determine if lunar dust can be used to construct roads and landing pads on the moon. Lunar dust, composed of volcanic rock and dark gray in color, poses hazards to space exploration due to its sharp-edged particles and adhesive properties. By harnessing concentrated sunlight through large lenses, researchers successfully melted lunar dust into solid rock slabs, creating tiles that could interlock to form solid surfaces.
