Moon dust is sharp, corrosive, and potentially fatal. NASA’s new electric force field shield is designed to blast it away.

This suggests that when the South Pole-Aitken impactor hit, it gouged deep into the Moon, generating intense heat. This ...

Researchers analyzing lunar samples have found something unexpected: natural few-layer graphene, a form of carbon that could reshape our understanding of the Moon’s formation and geological evolution.

Lunar dust collected by Apollo 17 astronauts in the 1970s has revealed that the moon is 40 million years older than previously believed. After landing on the moon on December 11, 1972, NASA astronauts ...

In a discovery that could rewrite what we know about where water comes from and the building blocks of life in the solar system, researchers have found rare meteorite pieces inside dust brought back ...

One day, we might see glowing cities of glass scattered across the Moon's surface, shining softly under Earth's light. NASA is teaming up with Skyeports, a California-based company, to explore how ...

Jess Atkin sets her sights high — very high — but her approach is down to earth. The graduate researcher at Texas A&M University successfully raised 16 samples of chickpeas in simulated lunar regolith ...

Using lunar ice to make rocket fuel could help future lunar settlements sustain themselves and provide a launch pad for astronauts to reach Mars.

But machinery used on the moon must function in low gravity, a vacuum and amid abrasive lunar dust. It must also survive the two-week lunar night of electronics-killing temperatures that plunge to ...
