In 2010, Nasa researchers found graphite – a mineral made up of stacked layers of graphene – in lunar samples collected nearly 40 years earlier by the Apollo 17 mission. After ruling out the effects of solar winds, they attributed the finding to the impact of meteor strikes on the moon.

The Chinese scientists acknowledged that the impact of meteorites could also lead to the formation of graphitic carbon, as proposed by the Nasa researchers.
