Yutu-2 radar observation of the lunar regolith heterogeneity at the Chang'E-4 landing site
Context. The lunar penetrating radar (LPR) carried by the Yutu-2 rover performed the first in situ measurement of the subsurface structure and physical properties of the subsurface materials on the far side of the Moon.

Shear Properties of Lunar Regolith Simulants
AbstractThe accuracy of lunar regolith simulants for lunar drilling and sampling is mainly based on their particle shape and grain size distribution. To determine the grain-size distribution and shear strength parameters, grain-size distribution tests and conventional tri-axial compression experiments were conducted on the lunar regolith simulants.

Regolith history of lunar meteorites [PDF]
The regolith evolution of the lunar meteorites Dhofar (Dho) 081, Northwest Africa (NWA) 032, NWA 482, NWA 773, Sayh al Uhaymir (SaU) 169, and Yamato (Y-) 981031 was investigated by measuring the light noble gases He, Ne, and Ar. The presence of trapped solar neon in Dho 081, NWA 773, and Y-981031 indicates an exposure at the lunar surface. A neon three-
