With the development of civilization comes roads, and this will be especially true on the moon. To do this, the dust must be kept away. In the Apollo era, dust blocked equipment and worn space suits.

  • One response
Dr. Oren Raz came up with an idea for a new way to circumvent the phase reconstruction problem: to combine two ultra-fast laser flashes and measure them together, so that the combination between the two would act as a hologram
