Liu Ruozhuang: Achieving International Research Standards Without Studying Abroad

Academician Liu Ruozhuang: Never Studied Abroad, Yet Achieving International Research Standards
“To conduct research, one must not fear hardship; having a persistent spirit is essential in scientific inquiry.” This profound insight reflects the career of Liu Ruozhuang, an academician of the Chinese Academy of Sciences and a professor at the College of Chemistry, Beijing Normal University.

Micro-Meteorite Pits on the Moon: Deciphering the Mystery of Space Weathering
Researchers from the Institute of Geology and Geophysics, Chinese Academy of Sciences, led by Gu Lixin, systematically studied the morphological and microstructural changes of sub-micron to micron-sized micro-meteorite pits on the surface of Chang’e 5 particles. They revealed the synergistic mechanisms of hypervelocity impact and solar wind irradiation on the lunar surface.
