  • Researchers have discovered that lunar dust could potentially be used as a raw material for constructing roads and landing pads on the moon.
  • It is consisting primarily of dark grey lunar volcanic rock.
  • Using laser beams with varying strengths and sizes, the scientists simulated concentrated sunlight in their experiments.
  • They successfully produced triangular, hollow-centered tiles by melting dust.
  • It could be interlocked to create solid surfaces for constructing roads and landing pads on the moon.
  • But it would take about 100 days to create a 10 x 10m landing spot.
