Two scholars from HKU successfully obtained approval from the China National Space Administration's Lunar Exploration and Space Engineering Centre to study lunar soil samples. Professor Yang Lu from Department of Mechanical Engineering will be acquiring lunar soil samples collected by the Chinese lunar probe Chang'e-5. With a research focus on nanomechanics, Professor Lu aims to explore the potential of using lunar soil as construction materials. Additionally, he will investigate whether lunar soil contains semiconductor components, which are essential for the development of electronic devices.
