We’re all familiar with how water flows on Earth. Pour it into a glass, and gravity pulls it down, forming a surface. Stir it, and it...

Traditional optics—like lenses and mirrors—are built with solid materials, carefully shaped and polished. But in the weightless...

When astronauts spend long periods in space, something unexpected can happen—their vision deteriorates. Some return to Earth with blurred...

Chemical synthesis is at the heart of countless industries—from pharmaceuticals to agriculture. But what if we could improve how these...

Imagine lighting a match on Earth. You see a bright flame, fueled by oxygen and behaving in a way we all expect. But in space, where...

Building on the success of the first FLEX experiment, Flame Extinguishment Experiment-2 (FLEX-2) expanded the study of fire behavior in...

Fire behaves very differently in space. Without gravity to drive convection currents, flames don’t rise—they form spherical, slowly...

Imagine a world where the internet is 100 times faster, data transfers are instantaneous, and energy usage is drastically reduced. That...

Regeneration—the ability of an organism to regrow parts of its body—is one of biology’s most astonishing capabilities. But what happens...

In the realm of space travel, few dangers are as immediately threatening as fire. On Earth, flames can be fought with well-understood...

The Flame Design experiment, led by Dr. Richard Axelbaum and supported by NASA Glenn Research Center, is an ambitious investigation into...

Fizika-Otolit, a part of the broader Russian Fizika-Obrazovaniye educational series, dives into the human vestibular system — the body’s...

Part of the larger Fizika-Obrazovaniye initiative, Fizika-LT takes a deep dive into thermal physics under microgravity conditions....

The 'Fizika-Obrazovaniye' or Physics-Education experiments initiated by ROSCOSMOS offer a unique educational and scientific value. Among...

FITSAT-1, developed by the Fukuoka Institute of Technology and launched during Expeditions 33/34, is a brilliant example of how small...

Space is a hostile environment—not just for humans, but also for the microorganisms that travel with us. The experiment "Fungal...

Did you know that goldfish scales can help us understand human bone loss in space? The experiment titled "Investigation of the...

Cell behavior is influenced by many factors—including gravity. In the Fischer Rat Thyroid Low Serum 5% experiment, scientists explored...

Have you ever wondered if your favorite food tastes the same in space? One fascinating experiment conducted aboard the International...

When astronauts live on the International Space Station (ISS) for extended periods—sometimes for a full year—their bodies undergo a...
