Scientists left 'Moon cement' outside the ISS for six months; it came back up to 35% stronger

A pioneering development in space materials, the recently created 'Moon cement' derived from lunar and Martian simulants has shown exceptional durability, surviving for half a year outside the International Space Station unscathed. Remarkably, one formulation achieved a 35% boost in compressive strength over Earth-based counterparts, illuminating promising avenues for constructing habitats on the Moon utilizing local soil resources.
