In-Situ Crystallographic Investigations of Solar Systems in the next Decade
The history of solar system materials is written in the rocks and the minerals they contain. To fully document the rich history of our solar system and our universe requires comprehensive analysis and documentation of mineral species, including detailed information on their structural states and compositional idiosyncrasies by X-ray Diffraction.
