•Martian sand can be used to build in space, Dublin scientists find
80% Informative
Dublin scientists have found a way of binding regolith - surface rocks, sand and dust - together using low temperatures and minimal energy.
The blocks, built with carbon nanotubes, have a relatively low density but display strength approaching that of granite.
The discovery could help limit the amount of building materials that would need to be transported off Earth to build a Moon base.
