ナトリウムイオンは、鉱物や有機物の表面電荷を安定化させる電解質として働き、その一部は揮発性の低分子有機物など（参照： 「炭素質小惑星 (162173)リュウグウの試料中の可溶性有機分子」）とのイオン結合によって形成されると考えられている。

Just over a year ago, material from the Japanese Hayabusa 2 mission to Asteroid (162173) Ryugu arrived back on Earth . And this week, the first two papers reporting analysis of the material have been ...

Pyrrhotites in asteroid 162173 Ryugu: Records of the initial changes on their surfaces with aqueous alteration Journal: Geochimica et Cosmochimica Acta Published: 2024-08-01 DOI: 10.1016/j.gca ...

The samples were transported in a hermetically sealed chamber and eventually opened in a nitrogen-purged clean room. Scientists used sterilized tools, themselves stored under nitrogen. Despite their ...

The nearly-kilometer-long 162173 Ryugu asteroid had a sample brought back by JAXA's Hayabusa2 mission, and the findings can reveal new insights on the birth of the solar system.

Around 27 June, the spacecraft will arrive at a distance of 20km from the asteroid, which goes by the formal name of 162173 Ryugu.
