Computer-simulated moon dust may help lunar robots pass a major hurdle

Scientists have developed a new computer model that simulates how moon dust behaves in lunar gravity. They hope it will help future robotic moon explorers to do their job more safely. Moon dust, or regolith, is a pesky material. It’s superfine, yet sharp like glass. When stirred, it floats suspended in the moon’s low gravity […]
