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!

Trip To Ziquejie Terraced Fields

From March 19 to 23, 2025, the “Soil Excavation Team”, comprising Fan, Buqing, Lingxiao, Kun, and Chuxin, conducted fieldwork at the Ziquejie Terraced Fields in Loudi City, Hunan Province. Renowned as a UNESCO-designed Globally Important Agricultural Heritage Site, these 2000-year-old terraces integrate ancient rice-farming practices with a unique natural irrigation system.Captured at 1000-meter elevation of Ziquejie Terraced Fields, from left to right: Kun, Buqing, Chuxin, Lingxiao, Fan
