The lunar dust problem was first formulated in 1969 with NASA's first successful mission to
land a human being on the surface of the Moon. Subsequent Apollo missions failed to keep …

The mechanisms of particle-induced pathogenesis in the lung remain poorly understood.
Neutrophilic inflammation and oxidative stress in the lung are hallmarks of toxicity. Some …

Although a dust-repellent surface is desirable for lunar exploration missions, its fabrication
process is complicated and time-consuming. Herein, we report a simple and fast method to …

Remote sensing observations of the Moon suggest that the lunar polar regolith environment
is affected by several natural processes that may cause the regolith in these regions to …

The toxicity of lunar dust (LD) to astronauts' health has been confirmed in the Apollo
missions and subsequent biological experiments. Therefore, it is crucial to understand the …
