Yeah, I get that, but why negative ions? Their research seems important, I just don't understand the significant of the ions.

Important to know if we ever want a moonbase. Its always been known that ionizing radiation would be an issue without an atmosphere, but this is more solid evidence that they are present on the surface. They also can do cool stuff at the atomic level to form ionic bonds and create thing naturally that we just wouldn't find here on earth.
