On July 4-13, Shizhen and Gan attended the Goldschmidt 2025 Conference in Prague of Czech. Gan chaired a session and gave a talk on BC radiocarbon based on many of our studies. Shizhen delivered orally our recent advance in tire-wear derived chemicals in another session. There were 4 other SKLAET members on the Conference. Zhang Yanlin (章炎麟) cochaired with Gan on the session. It is a nice conference standing the top one in the research areas of geochemistry!
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!
