With US astronauts scheduled to return to the Moon in 2026, it might be nice for them to really and truly know ahead of time what the gravity situation is going to be like. At 1/6th Earth’s gravity, ...

As humanity continues its exploration of the universe, the low-gravity environment of space presents unusual challenges for scientists and engineers. Researchers at the FAMU-FSU College of Engineering ...

Low gravity worlds are common in science fiction, but living on one would reshape everything from biology to architecture. Bodies grow differently, movement changes, and even simple tasks can ...

Johns Hopkins Medicine scientists who arranged for 48 human bioengineered heart tissue samples to spend 30 days at the International Space Station report evidence that the low gravity conditions in ...

Blue Origin's famed New Shepard spacecraft successfully simulated the moon's low gravity on board its capsule during a brief flight Tuesday morning over West Texas. Video of the uncrewed launch, which ...

Astronauts have been able to track their muscle health in spaceflight for the first time using a handheld device, revealing which muscles are most at risk of weakening in low gravity conditions.

Moon-dwelling astronauts might be able to get their steps in by running along the walls like Spiderman. Due to the moon's weak gravity, at only one-sixth Earth's, astronauts could stay fit on the ...

Granular gases in low gravity environments comprise assemblies of macroscopic particles subjected to dissipative collisions and driven by external excitation. In the near-absence of gravitational ...
