Micro X ray method reads ancient meteorite impact scars
Tokyo, Japan (SPX) Dec 14, 2025
Researchers from China, Canada, and Japan have established a quantitative method to read the impact histories recorded in enstatite chondrites using micro X ray diffraction measurements. Enstatite chondrites are rare meteorites that formed in highly reducing conditions close to the young Sun and are chemically similar to the material that built Earth, making them key samples for reconstructing e
