Life on the Moon? Lunar soil could help humans live on the Moon, study finds
Researchers from the Chinese University of Hong Kong developed a technology that can extract water from the soil on the Moon and convert it into oxygen and chemical fuel.
Researchers from the Chinese University of Hong Kong developed a technology to extract water from lunar soil and used it to convert carbon dioxide into oxygen and chemical fuel. According to the study, published in the Cell Press journal Joule, the research could “potentially open new doors for future deep space exploration” because it could mitigate the expensive costs needed to bring essential resources such as water to the Moon. The Moon’s extreme lunar environment will still make it challenging to harvest more oxygen and water from the land, the study continued, because there are “drastic temperature fluctuations,” radiation and low gravity to deal with.
