Future lunar bases could run on solar panels forged from molten moon dust,
turning the Moon’s surface into an energy source, thanks to a new research
breakthrough.  Scientists at the University of Potsdam have engineered
so-called “moonglass” solar cells made by melting artificial moon dust or
“regolith” and then combining it with a layer of perovskite crystal to create a
working solar panel.  The device could be lighter, cheaper, and more
radiation-resistant than the panels already used in space, said the
researchers. Their results were published in the journal Device this week.
Today, solar panels power satellites, space stations, and…
