The rocks and dust making up the surface of the moon contain a lot of oxygen but not a lot of hydrogen. Solar wind is mostly made of protons, which are hydrogen atoms missing their electrons. Without ...

Then, they used a tiny particle accelerator to bombard the dust with mock solar wind for several days—the equivalent of 80,000 years on the moon, based on the high dose of the particles used.

The breakthrough comes from researchers at NASA's Goddard Space Flight Center, who set out to replicate the harsh lunar ...
