Estimation of energy and material use of sintering-based construction for a lunar outpost - with the example of SinterHab module design [PDF]
, 2015 In this paper, we would revisit the usability of microwave for lunar regolith sintering through an in-depth experiment, and examine the minimum materials and energy required for sintering based on the SinterHab design.

Environmental Microbiology, Volume 28, Issue 2, February 2026.We investigated the survival of the yeast Rhodotorula frigidalcoholis and analysed its RNA after exposure to icy moon conditions. Our results show how the yeast can tolerate the extreme conditions and performs metabolic functions under the exposure conditions; for example, by halting the cell cycle in order to repair. Created in BioRender.

Journal of the American Ceramic Society, Volume 109, Issue 2, February 2026.ABSTRACT Binder jetting has emerged as a compelling approach for processing lunar regolith, as it is well‐suited for low‐energy environments and requires lower amounts of organic binder, compared to the competitive technologies. This study investigates the feasibility of binder jetting lunar regolith simulants from micrometric particles, focusing on ...

Simple and effective remediation strategies of Martian perchlorates
Soil Science Society of America Journal, Volume 90, Issue 1, January/February 2026.Abstract Martian surface minerals have abundant perchlorate salts existing in both solid and liquid phases that will impair agricultural operations, biological life‐support systems, and in situ resource utilization due to their toxicity. Thus, simple and effective perchlorate remediation strategies will be necessary for the successful use of Martian ...
