Astronomers solve the mystery of the different star formation activities of two similar-looking dust clouds by reconstructing their 3D shapes.

By mapping the dust in three dimensions, they could find out how much dust is in any region in the sky and in the Milky Way galaxy. Shlafly said the new 3D dust maps are several times better than ...

Rosetta 3D images comet dust before it bids farewell ESA has 30 days left to analyze as much dust as possible.

Using this catalog, they have successfully constructed a 3D map of dust distribution and properties across the Milky Way, reaching distances of up to 16,308 light-years away.

Home Emerging Tech News Melting pesky lunar dust with a laser enables 3D printing of tools on the moon By Georgina Torbet Published June 2, 2019 ...

Voluminous clouds of cosmic dust permeate our galaxy, but only recently has software allowed detailed observations of the stuff at scale.

Today's dust will become tomorrow's stars, and for the first time ever, we know where they are.

When the people of Earth set up bases on the moon, you can imagine that 3D printing will be a key enabling technology. Of course, you could ship plastic or other filament at great cost. But what if… ...

To support a potential, future lunar base, researchers at the European Space Agency (ESA) have 3D-printed and baked fake moon dust into screws, gears, and even a coin.

Explore the vision for a future lunar base where 3D-printing with moon dust becomes the solution for building materials.

Researchers from Washington State University (WSU) have found a way to 3D-print tools and rocket parts using Martian regolith mixed with a titanium alloy.
