In 2032, a team of researchers in Lapland developed the transformation of highly concentrated moonlight into a gel-like plasma which is soluble in liquid and dilutable. This liquid, known as "L-M-E" (Lappish Moonlight Elixir), revolutionized the healthcare sector.
The enormous demand for moonlight could not be met by gigantic collectors on the moon surface in 2033, unfortunately, this was only discovered after the installation. The collection of moonlight must be linked to a living body; the exact chemical and physical requirements for its extraction are still unclear, but in fact moonlight cannot currently be extracted by machines.
As a result, people were urged to take personal responsibility and actively collect moonlight by themselves.
The systems and equipment developed for this purpose are diverse, ranging from antennas to umbrella-like constructions, suction mechanisms, and even bowls worn on the head.
From now on, jewelry is also designed to be wearable and useful for collecting moonlight.
The "Moonlight Collector 3.0", a piece of jewelry developed by Ela Nord back in 2031 and made from ultra-light carbon fiber reinforced PEEK (CF/PEEK), which was originally used exclusively as space insulation material, fulfills several factors at once:
It collects moonlight highly efficiently and feeds it through invisible tubes into an airtight reservoir box carried on the back. A transportable transformer that clears the unfiltered moonlight of unwanted components such as sunlight, smog, and other emissions is currently unwieldy, but the industry is continuously researching the possibility of improving the transformers in terms of acquisition costs and size.
The pure moonlight separated by the reformer is converted into usable plasma in a second operation.
With a night ration of moonlight, it is usually possible (depending on weather conditions or cloud cover) to either generate low voltage for 3 - 4 hours, produce 2 ampules of elixir as a dietary supplement, formulate 1 injection (admixture in the patient's blood) in the event of an acute illness, and much more. The cosmetics industry is now using the elixir successfully and with astonishing results as a Botox substitute. Dentistry, in particular, is successfully using moonlight plasma, as even a low concentration in toothpaste prevents the development of tooth decay and tooth loss by practically 95% (long-term studies are pending).
In author jewelry, the design of objects for the Moonlight collection has proved so successful that almost 80 percent of collectors are now made by jewelry artists.
