Producing and using green materials is one way to keep our planet clean and healthy. Here are some materials that get high sustainability points.

What material can be used to build on the moon? An ESA research team is exploring this question. To answer it, they have printed 3D Lego bricks from moon dust.

Ela turned this concept into Terra, a line of compressed-earth products such as stools and lamps that “come from dust and return to dust,” she says. A few years ago, she realized that bringing ...

The new building material relies on lunar regolith, aka moon dirt. By Andrew Paul. Published Oct 27, 2022 7:30 AM EDT ... dust, and other debris covering the Moon’s surface.

If successful, the concrete test could pave the way for NASA engineers to assemble a lunar base without needing to ship tons of cement to the Moon's surface, which could cost millions of dollars ...

The material made of 100% regolith cracked as it cooled, and wore out the fastest in durability tests, meaning it wouldn’t be suitable as a building material. But the team says that it could ...

This way, they could cheaply and easily create building materials on the Moon itself. To practice, the ESA team 3D printed items including screws and gears with fake Moon dust.
