Bacterial bio-repair method strengthens lunar construction bricks

Sydney, Australia (SPX) Apr 02, 2025

Researchers at the Indian Institute of Science (IISc) have devised an innovative method to repair bricks made from lunar soil using bacteria, a technique that could prove essential for maintaining structures built in the moon's extreme environment. As lunar exploration shifts toward permanent settlement, exemplified by NASA's Artemis initiative, reducing dependence on Earth-supplied buildi
