To enable future lunar settlements, researchers are pursuing ways to construct needed devices on the moon to save the expense of shipping them from Earth. In this podcast episode, MRS Bulletin's Laura Leay interviews Felix Lang from the University of Potsdam, Germany about his group's development of perovskite solar cells that utilize the moon's regolith for the substrate. The researchers achieved power conversion efficiency of ~10%, with some device architectures leading to improved efficiencies of ~12%. Calculations show that using resources from the moon resulted in a power-to-weight ratio that outclassed other technologies, even with the low efficiency. Future work will look to improve this efficiency by considering tandem solar cells. This study was published in a recent issue of Device.

Welcome to Astronomy Daily, your go-to podcast for the latest news and discoveries in space and astronomy. I'm your host, Anna. Today we have some exciting stories lined up for you. We'll dive into new research on our moon's atmosphere, revealing the powerful effects of meteorite impacts. Next, we'll explore why detecting signs of advanced extraterrestrial civilizations, known as technosignatures, is more challenging than we might think. Finally, we'll uncover recent findings about potential dark matter objects in space discovered using pulsars. So sit back, relax, and let's embark on this cosmic journey together.- NASA astronauts from the Apollo missions uncovered a fascinating aspect of the moon that was previously unknown. It has an atmosphere, although it's incredibly thin, so much so that it's technically classified as an exosphere. But what drives this tenuous lunar atmosphere? - NASA scientists have been delving into the intriguing question of why we might not be able to detect advanced extraterrestrial civilizations, also known as technosignatures. One prevailing theory suggests that these civilizations may have relatively modest energy requirements, which means they wouldn't necessarily need to construct vast, detectable stellar energy structures, like enormous solar panel arrays that cover their planet's surface, or giant orbiting megastructures, to harvest energy from their star.- Recent research has brought exciting news in our quest to understand dark matter, something that has intrigued astronomers for decades. The study involves pulsars, which are neutron stars known for emitting regular beams of radio waves. - If you enjoyed today's show, be sure to visit our website at astronomydaily.io.

Scientists are seeking to find out what is producing the slow release of methane gas on Mars.科学家们正在寻找火星上缓慢释放甲烷气体的原因。Methane often results from biological processes. On Earth, most of the gas comes from living creatures. For this reason, the American space agency NASA has been investigating methane levels on Mars in a search for signs of current or past life. So far, no evidence has been found.甲烷通常来自生物过程。 在地球上，大部分气体来自生物。 出于这个原因，美国宇航局NASA一直在调查火星上的甲烷水平，以寻找当前或过去生命的迹象。 到目前为止，还没有找到任何证据。But a new study is providing fresh details about methane on Mars. NASA's Curiosity explorer, or rover, has repeatedly measured methane levels on the Martian surface. The rover arrived on Mars in 2012 and has been exploring areas around Gale Crater. This area is believed to have contained a lake at one time and has also shown other evidence of flowing water in the past.但一项新研究提供了有关火星甲烷的新细节。 美国宇航局的好奇号探测器或漫游者多次测量了火星表面的甲烷水平。 该火星车于 2012 年抵达火星，一直在探索盖尔陨石坑周围的区域。 据信该地区曾经有一个湖泊，并且过去还显示出其他流水的证据。NASA says Gale Crater is the only place where methane has been discovered. Even a spacecraft sent to collect data on the Martian atmosphere has not identified the presence of methane. That spacecraft, the ExoMars Trace Gas Orbiter, is operated by the European Space Agency.美国宇航局表示，盖尔陨石坑是唯一发现甲烷的地方。 即使是派去收集火星大气数据的航天器也没有发现甲烷的存在。 该航天器名为 ExoMars 痕量气体轨道飞行器，由欧洲航天局运营。In addition to only being discovered, or detected, around Gale Crater, the observations of methane happen only at night, NASA researchers recently reported. Levels also go up and down during different seasons and at times, rise sharply for short periods.美国宇航局研究人员最近报告说，除了仅在盖尔陨石坑周围发现或探测到甲烷之外，甲烷的观测也只发生在夜间。 水平也会在不同季节上下波动，有时会在短时间内急剧上升。The mysterious methane releases leave scientists considering “a lot of plot twists,” said Curiosity project leader Ashwin Vasavada. But a NASA research group recently proposed a possible explanation for how the gas behaves on Mars.好奇号项目负责人阿什温·瓦萨瓦达 (Ashwin Vasavada) 表示，神秘的甲烷释放让科学家们思考“许多情节曲折”。 但美国宇航局的一个研究小组最近对火星上的气体行为提出了一个可能的解释。The researchers theorize that all detected methane could be trapped, or sealed, underneath hardened pieces of salt in Martian regolith. Regolith describes soil that contains rock and dust that sits on or below the surface.研究人员推测，所有检测到的甲烷都可能被捕获或密封在火星风化层的硬化盐块下面。 风化层描述的是含有岩石和灰尘的土壤，位于地表之上或之下。The scientists say increases in temperature might explain the differences in gas release. During certain seasons or times of day warmer temperatures could weaken the seal on the methane, causing gas to be released.科学家们表示，温度升高可能可以解释气体释放的差异。 在某些季节或一天中的某些时间，气温升高可能会削弱甲烷的密封性，导致气体释放。NASA said the research was led by Alexander Pavlov, a planetary scientist at the agency's Goddard Space Flight Center in Maryland. He said small amounts of methane could also be released when the regolith seal is broken by weight from above美国宇航局表示，这项研究是由该机构马里兰州戈达德太空飞行中心的行星科学家亚历山大·巴甫洛夫领导的。 他说，当风化层密封被上方的重量破坏时。

Apollo astronauts reported that driving on the Moon was much like driving on ice.

It's one thing to land on the moon. It's another to make human life possible there. (Part 2 of our Artemis special.)

From surface experiments to vacuum chambers, NASA uses BP-1 to help researchers better understand the lunar surface.

Can you actually grow potatoes on Mars? On this episode, Neil deGrasse Tyson and comic co-host Paul Mecurio explore how to grow plants in space and whether we can farm on the Moon and Mars with space biologists Anna-Lisa Paul and Robert Ferl.NOTE: StarTalk+ Patrons can watch or listen to this entire episode commercial-free here: https://startalkmedia.com/show/space-plants/Thanks to our Patrons Andrew Herron, Bhargava Kandada, Mark Roop, Martin Bonner, Pete Quist, and Estee Catti-Schmidt for supporting us this week.Photo Credit: Tyler Jones, UF/IFAS

B. McCord, Lawrence. A. Taylor, Jean‐Philippe Combe, Georgiana Kramer, Carle M.Pieters, Jessica M. Sunshine, and Roger N. Clark published in 2011 in the JOURNAL OF GEOPHYS ICAL RESEARCH PLANETS, VOL. 116.The Solar WindThe Solar Wind was postulated in the mid-19th century, as a flow of particles and energy (photons) traveling away from the Sun into the Solar System. The observations that led scientists to this theory were aurorae in the upper Earth's atmosphere  terrestrial magnetic storms their correlations with solar flares and comet's tails always pointing away from the Sun . The solar wind was first observed directly by the Soviet satellite Luna 1 in 1959 and verified by measurements from Luna 2, Luna 3 and Venera 1, and then it was observed by a U.S. spacecraft, Mariner 2, in 1962.The solar wind is composed mostly of protons and electrons, with about 4% helium and smaller amounts of heavier element ions. The flux at the Earth is about four hundred thousand particles per square centimeter and per second, with average energy of around half of a kilo-electronvolt per atomic mass unit, and a flux energy half width between 300 and 1500 keV as measured in 2009 by the Indian lunar orbiter Chandrayaan‐1. For this energy range, protons (H+) have a penetration depth in the surface grains of 5 to 10 nm. The solar wind plasma is almost completely absorbed by the Moon's illuminated surface. However, up to 20% of the impinging solar wind protons are reflected from the lunar surface back to space as neutral hydrogen atoms.The solar wind impacts the lunar surface, and the resulting i nteraction depends largely on the nature of the lunar soil exposed to space at the molecular level. Most known minerals of the solar system are made of molecules that contain large amounts of oxygen, mostly in oxides. The lunar surface has two major types of terrains that can be distinguished with the naked eye: the bright ones are called the highlands, and the dark ones are called by the latin word mare, which means seas, although they are not made of water, but are instead made of volcanic rocks, with various types of minerals rich in iron oxides and magnesium oxides. The lunar soil surface consists in a layer of crushed rock, minerals, and glass called “regolith”.On the Moon, regolith formation results from combination of all the physical and chemical factors that occur on airless bodies, and that is called space weathering . This is unlike the processes that occur on Earth, and that are largely driven by tectonic activity and erosion due to the water cycle and atmospheric circulation. On the Moon, the agents of space weathering include a wide range of types and sizes of impactors, such as meteorites, micrometeorites (
