Lunar meteorites are fragments of consolidated rock that were ejected from the Moon when
it was struck by an impacting asteroid or comet, entered an Earth-crossing orbit, and …

Hypervelocity impacts are among the fundamental phenomena occurring during the
evolution of the solar system and are characterized by instantaneous ultrahigh pressure and …

The current shock classification scheme of meteorites assigns shock levels of S1
(unshocked) to S6 (very strongly shocked) using shock effects in rock‐forming minerals such …

Heavily shocked meteorites contain various types of high‐pressure polymorphs of major
minerals (olivine, pyroxene, feldspar, and quartz) and accessory minerals (chromite and Ca …

The lunar regolith layer preserves abundant information on the internal properties of the
Moon as well as the space-surface interactions. By gardening and overturning through time …

High‐pressure minerals in impact ejecta quantify shock conditions and provide clues for
provenance analysis. The sampling site of Chang'E‐5 may contain distal ejecta, which is …

Understanding the kinetics of shock-compressed SiO2 is of great importance for mitigating
optical damage for high-intensity lasers and for understanding meteoroid impacts …

Silicon dioxide is one of the most abundant natural compounds. Polymorphs of SiO2 and
their phase transitions have long been a focus of great interest and intense theoretical and …

The fourth installment of the evolutionary system of mineralogy considers two stages of
planetesimal mineralogy that occurred early in the history of the solar nebula, commencing …
