Scientists Discover Molecular Water in Lunar Soil for the First Time

Sci-Tech

Chinese scientists have identified a new water-bearing mineral, ULM-1, in lunar soil samples brought back by the Chang'e-5 mission, marking the first confirmation of crystalline molecular water in lunar soil. This mineral, characterized by high water content and stable properties, suggests that persistent water sources may exist in sunlight-exposed regions of the Moon.more
