Granular Convection in Microgravity [PDF]
PRL 110, 018307 (2013), 2013 We investigate the role of gravity on convection in a dense granular shear flow. Using a microgravity modified Taylor-Couette shear cell under the conditions of parabolic flight microgravity, we demonstrate experimentally that secondary, convective-like flows in a sheared granular material are close to zero in microgravity and enhanced under high ...

Toward the Stable Optical Trapping of a Droplet with Counter Laser Beams under Microgravity [PDF]
, 2006 To identify the optimum conditions for the optical trapping of a droplet under microgravity, we theoretically analyzed the efficiency of trapping with counter laser beams.

Monitoring Three-Dimensional Packings in Microgravity [PDF]
Microgravity Science and Technology, Volume 29, Issue 4, pp
297-304 (2017), 2013 We present results from experiments with granular packings in three dimensions in microgravity as realized on parabolic flights. Two different techniques are employed to monitor the inside of the packings during compaction: (1) X-ray radiography is used ...

Diffusive foam wetting process in microgravity [PDF]
Eur. Phys. J. B 33 (1): 115-119 (2003), 2001 We report the experimental study of aqueous foam wetting in microgravity. The liquid fraction $\ell$ along the bubble edges is measured and is found to be a relevant dynamical parameter during the capillary process.

The Growth of Soybean (Glycine max) Under Salt Stress Is Modulated in Simulated Microgravity Conditions [PDF]
CellsThe role of a simulated microgravity environment on soybean growth was investigated. The root grew more under simulated microgravity conditions than in the presence of gravity.

The mechanosensitive channel ELKIN1 regulates cellular adaptations to simulated microgravity [PDF]
npj MicrogravityIn conditions of microgravity the human body undergoes extensive alterations in physiological function. However, it has proven challenging to determine how these changes are mediated at the molecular and cellular level.

Lunar and Martian gravity alter immune cell interactions with endothelia in parabolic flight [PDF]
npj MicrogravityReturning to the moon and traveling to Mars represent the main targets of human space exploration missions within the upcoming decades. Comparable to microgravity, partial gravity in these destinations is assumed to dysregulate immune functions, thereby ...

Microgravity Effects on the Matrisome [PDF]
Cells, 2021 Gravity is fundamental factor determining all processes of development and vital activity on Earth. During evolution, a complex mechanism of response to gravity alterations was formed in multicellular organisms. It includes the “gravisensors” in extracellular and intracellular spaces.
