Magnetic Wave Study Detects Lithium in Mercury’s Exosphere for First Time Ever | NYGazet

Scientists trace lithium in Mercury’s exosphere using pick-up ion waves found in MESSENGER magnetic data.

Using a new technique based on magnetic-wave analysis, scientists have, for the first time, discovered lithium in the atmosphere of Mercury. Published in Nature Communications, the study constitutes the first detection of lithium around the smallest ... [2110 chars]
