Survivability of Amino Acids in Lunar Soil
The Planetary Science JournalWe present a laboratory investigation on the survivability of amino acids in lunar simulant soil under conditions similar to the lunar surface. Survival rates of various amino acids are quantified using ultra-high-performance liquid chromatography in ...
