The researchers send Capsicum annuum seeds, the chili pepper from Chili, on board. It will be the first fruit grown in space by the ISS astronauts.
The data examined by a team from Baylor University in Texas presents a strangeness: in the area of the observed crater, gravity should decrease, but it increases. The most plausible explanation is that the object responsible for the impact is still there, almost intact beneath the surface.
Tackling fire in a microgravity environment like that of space cabins presents many more headaches than on Earth, but Toyohashi University of Technology has found a brilliant solution, which could find a wider outlet in the future.
Einstein and quantum theory can agree if the possibility of a holographic universe is taken into account: a multidisciplinary study confirms this.
Apparently, black holes are not bottomless pits: something always escapes. Astrophysicist Stephen Hawking's theory is confirmed.
Amazon intends to change our lives, and not just when it comes to purchasing products online. No, Jeff Bezos really wants to take us into space, as tourists, and he promises to do it within just two years. Science fiction or very close reality? In fact, it seems that Bezos will begin testing space flights with people on board next year and, if all goes well, tourists in groups of six will be able to experience a short space flight as early as 2018. Bezos himself said it, ... Read more
Space research has often encountered rather serious problems when trying to reproduce the same conditions on Earth in the absence of gravity. One of the most insurmountable difficulties was that linked to 'space sex'. There is a whole series of cases on the subject: the results are not satisfactory. Looking at our planet can then make us understand that the problems related to sex are many and complex even without leaving our atmosphere. For men, erectile dysfunction, for women,... Read more
