"Revolutionary Fuel Design Enables Sustainable Living on Moon Base"

TL;DR Summary
Scientists at Bangor University have developed nuclear fuel cells, the size of poppy seeds, that could provide the energy needed to sustain life on the Moon. The cells, known as Trisofuel, could power a micro nuclear generator and be used in a portable device the size of a small car. The team hopes to fully test the fuel over the next few months and believes it could be ready for a Moon base by 2030. The university is also working on a nuclear system to power rockets, which could significantly reduce travel time to Mars.
