China develops new bricks for lunar construction

Chinese scientists have developed new bricks intended for building on the moon. These "moon soil bricks" are designed to endure high pressure and radiation, aiming to support future lunar bases and habitats. The bricks, created by experts at Huazhong University, feature a unique structure for easier assembly. They are significantly stronger than regular bricks, capable of withstanding over one ton per square centimeter. The first batch of moon soil bricks will be sent to the Chinese space station aboard the Tianzhou-8 cargo spacecraft. Testing will continue until the end of next year to assess their suitability for lunar construction.
