According to recent information from the Institute of Physics of the Chinese Academy of Sciences, through systematic materials science research on lunar soil samples brought from the moon by the Chang-A5 detector, Chinese researchers have discovered different origins and types of lunar glass materials. Have searched. More importantly, natural glass fibers have also been found in Chang’e 5 lunar soil for the first time. The researchers carried out a comprehensive analysis of the composition, composition, microstructure and formation mechanism of glass materials in the Chang-e 5 lunar soil samples. They then found that the origin of the glass on the surface of the Moon consists of several transformation pathways of solid, liquid, and gas.
For the first time, researchers have discovered natural glass fibers in Chang’e-5 lunar soil. These natural glass fibers prove that lunar soil has good glass-forming potential and excellent processing and forming characteristics. They have confirmed the feasibility of using local materials on the lunar surface for processing and producing glass manufacturing materials from lunar soil. It will provide vital support for the construction of a lunar base in the future.
