On April 1, Guangcai’s new paper , entitled ‘Polycyclic aromatics in the Chang’E 5 lunar soils‘ , was accepted by Nature Communications for publication.

It has been a great challenge for us, that it has been 40 months before the final acceptance of the paper. We received the lunar soil samples in Beijing on November 22, 2021, we completed all lab analysis and returned the sample to the authority on June 12, 2023.   We worked out and achieved the success.

Congratulations!
