Roads on the Moon could be made using lasers Paved roads and landing pads could be built on the Moon using giant lasers to melt lunar soil into a more solid substance, according to a new study. German researchers say that although their experiments were carried out on Earth using a substitute for lunar dust, the findings show the ‘viability’ of the technique. And they believe it could be replicated on the Moon.
Scientists used laser beams to melt dust into a solid surface They experimented with laser beams of different strengths and sizes – up to 12 kilowatts and 100 millimetres across respectively – to create a robust material. The team, whose findings were published in the journal Scientific Reports, established that criss-crossing or overlapping the laser beam path led to cracking.
