Lunar exploration is deemed crucial for uncovering the origins of the Earth-Moon system
and is the first step for advancing humanity's exploration of deep space. Over the past …

The past two decades of lunar exploration have seen the detection of substantial quantities
of water on the Moon's surface. It has been proposed that a hydrated layer exists at depth in …

Lunar volcanic volatiles are crucial for understanding eruption dynamics on the Moon as
well as the potential formation, life span, and dissipation of a lunar secondary atmosphere …

Controllable rock cracking technology is crucial for the exploration and exploitation of deep
underground resources. Many existing studies have been dedicated to the laser-assisted …

Earth's Moon was thought to be highly depleted in volatiles due to its formation by a giant
impact. Over the last decade, however, evidence has been found in apatites, lunar volcanic …

Formed in a fire-fountain eruption, lunar 74220 orange glass beads are excellent recorders
of the volcanic plume associated with the gas-driven eruption on the Moon. The bead …

Melting and solidification of lunar regolith are pivotal for comprehending the evolutionary
dynamics of lunar volcanism, geology, and impact history. Additionally, insights gained from …

The H 2 O concentration and H 2 O/Ce ratio in olivine-hosted melt inclusions are high in
lunar pyroclastic sample 74220 (H 2 O up to 1410 ppmw; H 2 O/Ce up to 77) but lower (H 2 …

The Moon is depleted in volatile elements and compounds, and lunar samples exhibit a
wide range of Cl isotopic compositions, which is believed to result from the volatilization of …

We report the first discovery of a pervasive Na-K-sulfate formed from vapor condensed Na-
KS on the surface of Apollo 74,220 orange beads. The molar (Na+ K)/S values (A) of …
