Scientists have developed a new computer model that simulates how moon dust behaves in lunar gravity. They hope it will help future robotic moon explorers to do their job more safely. When you ...

After Neil Armstrong took his first steps on the Moon, he said, “It’s almost like a powder”, as he described the lunar regolith, and astronauts on future Apollo missions found working on the lunar ...

A new computer model mimics Moon dust so well that it could lead to smoother and safer Lunar robot teleoperations. A new computer model mimics Moon dust so well that it could lead to smoother and ...

NASA is quietly rewriting the script for human exploration of the Red Planet, turning robots from remote-controlled tools ...

Keeping panels clear of dust in large solar farms can be a time-consuming, wasteful and costly business. A Sicilian technology startup called the Reiwa Engine has developed an autonomous robot called ...

Some Mars robots get help from nature to fend off dust for longer. When you purchase through links on our site, we may earn an affiliate commission. Here’s how it works. NASA's Mars InSight lander ...

Small Funnel Flow - The same experiments were set up in, both, simulation and reality to see if the virtual regolith behaved realistically. This test looked at how small (16 g) samples of material ...
