Long-term reduced lunar mantle revealed by Chang’e-5 basalt [PDF]
Nature CommunicationsThe redox state of a planetary mantle affects its thermal evolution. The redox evolution of lunar mantle, however, remains unclear due to limited oxygen fugacity (fO2) constraints from young lunar samples.

Fe and Mg Isotope Compositions Indicate a Hybrid Mantle Source for Young Chang’E 5 Mare Basalts
The Astrophysical Journal Letters, 2023 The Chang’E 5 (CE-5) samples represent the youngest mare basalt ever known and provide an access into the late lunar evolution. Recent studies have revealed that CE-5 basalts are the most evolved lunar basalts, yet controversy remains over the nature of ...

Space weathering on the lunar nearside and farside constrained from Si isotopes [PDF]
Nature CommunicationsOver long timescales, space weathering processes can modify the compositions of surface materials on the Moon. To assess the effects of space weathering of lunar soils, we study Si isotopes of Chang’E-5 (CE-5) and Chang’E-6 (CE-6) returned samples, and ...
