“More powerful than the strongest magnets”: NASA unveils electric force field to repel hazardous lunar dust on the moon

IN A NUTSHELL NASA successfully tested the Electrodynamic Dust Shield on the Moon to tackle the problem of hazardous lunar dust. Lunar dust, formed over billions of years, poses significant challenges due to its jagged particles and electrostatic charge. The EDS uses a series of tiny electrodes to create a traveling wave effect that clears dust from critical surfaces. The successful test aboard the Blue Ghost Mission 1 demonstrates the EDS’s po…
