New Discovery: Unlocking Water from the Moon's Dry Regolith Using Microwave Technology
It’s been a long-standing mystery as to how the Moon stays hydrated, with its dry, dusty surface. But now, a group of researchers have an answer - microwaves. By heating up the lunar regolith - the loose material covering the Moon’s surface - the researchers have discovered that it releases water. This opens up the possibility for humans to one day mine the Moon for its water and use it for drinking, manufacturing water or even fueling rockets. This is a major breakthrough that could revolutionize the way we explore and utilize the Moon.
