Formation of lunar surface water associated with high-energy electrons in Earth's magnetotail
Solar wind implantation is thought to be one of the primary mechanisms in the formation of
water (OH/H2O) on the surface of the Moon and possibly on the surface of other airless …

Ubiquitous and progressively increasing ferric iron content on the lunar surfaces revealed by the Chang'e-5 sample
Although ferric iron indisputably exists on the highly reducing surface of the Moon, its
formation mechanism and evolution are still under debate. Here we show that …
