  2. Microgravity bioprinting - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Microgravity_bioprinting

    The zero gravity environment circumvents some of the current limitations of bioprinting on Earth including magnetic field disruption and biostructure retention during the printing process. [2] Microgravity bioprinting is one of the initial steps to advancing in space exploration and colonization while furthering the possibilities of ...

    This study also used isotonic testing (1RM), and mean losses ranging from −6 to −37% were observed; reductions in adductor, abductor, and leg press strength were on the order of ~25–30%. [50] In an earlier 90-day bed rest trial, LeBlanc and colleagues observed losses of 31% in knee extension strength and 15% in knee flexion strength. [21]

    The symbol used for "zero" is a shell glyph, which is seen on the stone carving. Although the Olmec didn't leave behind any statues or reliefs with a "zero" glyph, the use of the Long Count calendar requires the knowledge of this concept since it is based on a ( vigesimal ) place-value number system.

  5. Neutral buoyancy simulation as a training aid - Wikipedia

    The individual feels gravity standing on the ice but they cannot use their weight to provide traction and they cannot shift their weight to provide force in a horizontal vector so they cannot force the door. Giving the door a shove and sliding back is using mass inertia and not using the individual's weight.

  6. Weightlessness - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Weightlessness

    Weightlessness is the complete or near-complete absence of the sensation of weight, i.e., zero apparent weight. It is also termed zero g-force, or zero-g (named after the g-force) [1] or, incorrectly, zero gravity. Microgravity environment is more or less synonymous in its effects, with the recognition that g-forces are never exactly zero.

  7. History of gravitational theory - Wikipedia

    In 1784, Le Sage posited that gravity could be a result of the collision of atoms, and in the early 19th century, he expanded Daniel Bernoulli's theory of corpuscular pressure to the universe as a whole. [89] A similar model was later created by Hendrik Lorentz (1853–1928), who used electromagnetic radiation instead of corpuscles.

  8. Zero Gravity Research Facility - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Zero_Gravity_Research_Facility

    The Zero Gravity Research Facility was built in 1966 as part of NASA's Centaur upper-stage rocket development program. In order to ensure proper firing and functioning of upper-stage rockets, NASA needed to understand the behavior of fluids (importantly, the liquid gases fueling the rockets), in the reduced gravity where they would fire.

    1851 – Léon Foucault uses Foucault pendulum to demonstrate the rotation of the Earth. 1859 – Charles Darwin publishes The Origin of Species showing that evolution occurs by natural selection. 1861 – Louis Pasteur disproves the theory of spontaneous generation. 1863 – Gregor Mendel's pea plant experiments (Mendel's laws of inheritance).
