A Special Day for Prof. Gan – A Cherished Group Tradition

On April 5th, our research group joyfully celebrated the birthday of our esteemed leader, Prof. Gan Zhang. Over the years, this celebration has become a beloved annual tradition, bringing together group members to share warm wishes, delicious food, and cherished memories. The gathering not only marked a special day for Prof. Gan but also served as a wonderful opportunity to strengthen bonds and reflect on the collaborative spirit that defines our team. Everyone thoroughly enjoyed the festive atmosphere and the time spent together. Special thanks to Jiao Tang for thoughtfully organizing this memorable event!

Happy Birthday to Prof. Gan!

Guangcai’s new paper on polyaromatics in Chang’e-5 lunar soil accepted by NC

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!
