Modeling the Fight Between Charged Lunar Dust and Spacecraft Coatings

Understanding how exactly lunar dust sticks to surfaces is going to be important once we start having a long-term sustainable presence on the Moon. Dust on the Moon is notoriously sticky and damaging to equipment, as well as being hazardous to astronaut’s health. While there has been plenty of studies into lunar dust and its implications, we still lack a model that can effectively describe the precise physical mechanisms the dust uses to adhere to surfaces. A paper released last year from Yue Feng of the Beijing Institute of Technology and their colleagues showcases a model that could be used to understand how lunar dust sticks to spacecraft - and what we can do about it.

Ethiopian volcanic plume

The Moss That Survived Nine Months in Space

Mosses conquered some of Earth's harshest environments long before humans arrived. They cling to Himalayan peaks, spread across Antarctic ice, and colonise fresh volcanic lava. These ancient plants, among the first to transition from water to land half a billion years ago, have survived multiple mass extinctions through sheer resilience. Researcher Tomomichi Fujita from Hokkaido University wondered if that resilience extended beyond Earth's atmosphere, so he sent moss to the ultimate extreme environment - the vacuum of space.

Two Years of Listening to the Universe's Most Violent Events

Gravitational waves are perhaps the most extraordinary signals in modern astronomy. When black holes or neutron stars collide billions of light years away, they send ripples through spacetime itself that eventually wash over Earth, stretching and squeezing space by distances smaller than a proton. The LIGO, Virgo, and KAGRA detectors exist to catch these impossibly faint whispers from the universe's most violent events, and their latest observation campaign proved remarkably successful.
