The viscosity and processing of molten lunar regolith [PDF]
Scientific ReportsEstablishing a permanent, self-sufficient habitat for humans on planetary bodies is critical for successful space exploration. In-situ resource utilisation (ISRU) of locally available resources offers the possibility of an energy-efficient and cost ...

Self-Organization Characteristics of Lunar Regolith Inferred by Yutu-2 Lunar Penetrating Radar
Remote Sensing, 2021 Most previous studies tend to simplify the lunar regolith as a homogeneous medium. However, the lunar regolith is not completely homogeneous, because there are weak reflections from the lunar regolith layer.

Cosmogenic nuclide weathering biases: corrections and potential for denudation and weathering rate measurements [PDF]
Geochronology, 2022 Cosmogenic radionuclides (CRNs) are the standard tool to derive centennial-to-millennial timescale denudation rates; however, it has been demonstrated that chemical weathering in some settings can bias CRNs as a proxy for landscape denudation. Currently,

Perchlorate and Agriculture on Mars
Soil Systems, 2021 Perchlorate (ClO4−) is globally enriched in Martian regolith at levels commonly toxic to plants. Consequently, perchlorate in Martian regolith presents an obstacle to developing agriculture on Mars.

Gas-Driven Regolith-Sampling Strategy for Exploring Micro-Gravity Asteroids
IEEE Access, 2020 Small celestial bodies contain abundant scientific information to understand the origin and evolution of the solar system. The acquisition and analysis of regolith sample is the most direct and effective way to explore the geological construction of ...
