Mare volcanics on the Moon are the key record of thermo-chemical evolution throughout
most of lunar history,–. Young mare basalts—mainly distributed in a region rich in …

Highlights in the field of air analysis included: a new focus on measuring tyre-wear particle
emissions; an interest in using unmanned aerial vehicles for sampling purposes and an …

Abstract Knowledge of the elemental compositions and isotopic ratios of geological samples
is a prerequisite for geochemical research. For whole-rock elemental composition and …

Lunar impact glasses can provide important information on the bulk compositions of their
sources and the impact history of the Moon. Here, we report the chemical composition of fifty …

Three synthetic reference glasses were prepared by directly fusing and stirring 3.8 kg of high‐
purity oxide powders to provide reference materials for microanalytical work. These glasses …

This study focuses on using the chemical compositions of plagioclase to further investigate
the petrogenesis of Chang'E-5 young mare basalts and constrain its parental melt …

The early continental crust is characterized by the tonalite‐trondhjemite‐granodiorite
gneisses (TTG) of Archaean terrains. There is a consensus that TTGs were formed by partial …

Rare-metal granitic pegmatites are commonly associated with granites. However, for the
Koktokay No. 3 pegmatite in the Chinese Altai, hosting a giant Li–Be–Nb–Ta–Cs–Rb–Hf …

The joining of the North and South China blocks marks the formation of the united East
Asian continent, which is an integral part of Pangea. The amalgamation of these two …

Imaging of complex (biological) samples in the near-infrared (NIR) is beneficial due to
reduced light scattering, absorption, phototoxicity, and autofluorescence. However, there are …
