Control Strategies of Gecko’s Toe in Response to Reduced Gravity [PDF]
Applied Sciences, 2020 Shear-induced adhesion is one of the key properties for the gecko moving safely and quickly in a three-dimensional environment. The control strategies of such locomotion strongly relying on adhesion are still not well understood.

Protocol for generation of multicellular spheroids through reduced gravity [PDF]
STAR Protocols, 2023 Summary: Multicellular spheroids are useful models for drug testing or studying tumor biology, but their production requires specialized approaches. Here, we present a protocol to produce viable spheroids by slow rotation around a horizontal axis using ...

Human muscle activity and lower limb biomechanics of overground walking at varying levels of simulated reduced gravity and gait speeds. [PDF]
PLoS ONE, 2021 Reducing the mechanical load on the human body through simulated reduced gravity can reveal important insight into locomotion biomechanics. The purpose of this study was to quantify the effects of simulated reduced gravity on muscle activation levels and

Humans running in place on water at simulated reduced gravity. [PDF]
PLoS ONE, 2012 BackgroundOn Earth only a few legged species, such as water strider insects, some aquatic birds and lizards, can run on water. For most other species, including humans, this is precluded by body size and proportions, lack of appropriate appendages, and ...

Integrable deformations of dimensionally reduced gravity
Journal of High Energy PhysicsDimensional reduction of gravity theories to D = 2 along commuting Killing isometries is well-known to be classically integrable. The resulting system typically features a coset σ-model coupled to a dilaton and a scale factor of the dimensional reduction.
