In 1991, the Philippine volcano Mt. Pinatubo erupted, sending millions of tons of sulfur dioxide into the stratosphere — and kicking off the modern era of thinking about geoengineering. Solar ...

As the climate crisis continues to worsen, scientists and researchers around the world have been looking for ways to curb the effects and mitigate the damage. Now, three astrophysicists have proposed ...

A moon lander mission is launching tomorrow and will take about 45 days to get the moon and then spend 14 days or more operating on the surface. It will take improved radiation tolerant PCs and an ...

NASA has successfully tested an electric force field on the Moon that protects spacecraft from destructive lunar dust. The Electrodynamic Dust Shield (EDS) was carried aboard Firefly Aerospace’s Blue ...

NASA plans to deploy a technology demonstrator known as the Electrodynamic Dust Shield (EDS) on the private Firefly Blue Ghost Mission 1 to investigate methods for repelling and eliminating lunar dust ...

Researchers at Georgia Tech tested copper and chemically modified reduced graphene oxide EDS to reduce lunar dust on curved surfaces under simulated lunar conditions.

Firing dust from the moon into space to create a sun shield could be a "feasible" way to mitigate global warming on Earth, a team of scientists has found. In a study published in the journal PLOS ...

Dust launched from the moon's surface or from a space station positioned between Earth and the sun could reduce enough solar radiation to mitigate the impacts of climate change. On a cold winter day, ...

Humans' future on the Moon is multifaceted, and some of those facets are less glamorous than others. Although NASA's biggest Artemis conferences tend to focus on the flashy parts of the program, the ...

Home shop machinists know dust shields are important for keeping swarf out of expensive linear rails and ball screws. [Petteri Aimonen] demonstrates three inexpensive ways to DIY some bellows-style ...

We tend to think of the moon as little more than a barren rock, but it’s very, very dusty. However, this dust is a little different than the stuff that collects on our bookshelves. Every time an ...

On a cold winter day, the warmth of the sun is welcome. Yet as humanity emits more and more greenhouse gases, the Earth'satmosphere traps more and more of the sun's energy and steadily increases the ...
