A Passive Low‐Frequency, High‐Sensitivity Diamagnetic Levitation Accelerometer
International Journal of Mechanical System Dynamics, EarlyView.ABSTRACT Despite the great potential of diamagnetic levitation accelerometers in detecting low‐frequency and weak motion, there is still a demand to further enhance their sensitivity for geophysical and microgravity applications. In this study, a straightforward structural modulating approach is presented to enhance the sensitivity of diamagnetic ...

Crystal growth in a microgravity environment [PDF]
, 1992 Gravitational phenomena, including convection, sedimentation, and interactions of materials with their containers all affect the crystal growth process. If they are not taken into consideration they can have adverse effects on the quantity and quality of

Diffusive foam wetting process in microgravity
, 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.

Sampling, Mobility, and Anchoring in Small‐Body Sampling Robots: A Comprehensive Review
SmartBot, EarlyView.Small‐body sampling robots are exploration systems that perform contact, sampling, and stable operations on microgravity bodies such as asteroids and comets. The authors review representative robot architectures and key technologies, focusing on the mechanisms, evolution, and coupling of sampling, mobility, and anchoring.

Positive impact of low-dose, high-energy radiation on bone in partial- and/or full-weightbearing mice [PDF]
, 2019 Astronauts traveling beyond low Earth orbit will be exposed to galactic cosmic radiation (GCR); understanding how high energy ionizing radiation modifies the bone response to mechanical unloading is important to assuring crew health. To investigate this,

Bioethics, EarlyView.ABSTRACT Classical bioethics examines moral issues in terrestrial medicine and the life sciences. According to Konrad Szocik, space bioethics merely relocates those questions to harsher environments. We argue that this view is incomplete: space bioethics is a genuinely original domain.
