Laser melting manufacturing of large elements of lunar regolith simulant for paving on the Moon [PDF]
Scientific Reports, 2023 The next steps for the expansion of the human presence in the solar system will be taken on the Moon. However, due to the low lunar gravity, the suspended dust generated when lunar rovers move across the lunar soil is a significant risk for lunar ...

Updating "Intensity dataset acquired through laser scanning of lunar and Martian soil simulants" with additional lunar soil simulants specimens. [PDF]
Data Brief, 2023 Updated dataset based on the laser scanning of three specimens of lunar soil simulants representing highland regions (LHS-1, AGK-2010, CHENOBI) and three specimens of lunar soil simulants representing mare regions (LMS-1, JSC-1A, OPRL2N). In previous studies, only a specimen of ilmenite was used as a lunar soil simulants.

Construction of Lunar Soil Simulants-Based Aluminum-Ion Battery Systems [PDF]
MaterialsWith the development of space technology, in situ resource utilization (ISRU) of lunar resources holds great potential for constructing lunar bases. This study, for the first time, proposes the in situ construction of lunar soil simulants-based battery systems. When novel ilmenite cathode materials are applied in aqueous aluminum-ion batteries (AAIBs),
