Chinese scientists have built a chamber to simulate the conditions on the surface of the moon to help prepare the country for future lunar exploration. The specially designed vacuum chamber features an electron gun to negatively charge dust, deuterium lights to produce ultraviolet rays to generate low-voltage positive electrical charge, and a vibrating screen designed to simulate flying dust . Scientists at the facility have made an analogue to dust particles with similar properties to those on the moon . These elements together produce a chamber capable of testing materials and items in simulated lunar conditions. Related: The latest news…
