Solar Cells Made of Moon Dust Could Power Future Space Exploration

Vision
 of future solar cell fabrication on the moon, utilizing raw regolith. Shown are
 robots that source raw regolith and bring it to a production facility, which fabricates
 perovskite-based moon solar cells. Later automated rovers or astronauts install
 the produced solar cells to power future moon-habitats or even cities. Credit:
