A groundbreaking discovery by researchers has unveiled a new magnetic mineral, γ-Fe, found in lunar samples from the Chang'e-6 mission. This remarkable find sheds light on the ancient magnetic environment of the Moon, now long lost. Detailed analysis of tiny iron particles within lunar impact glasses reveals that γ-Fe can maintain stable magnetic signals, potentially serving as a record of the Moon's magnetic history.
