The last time we played Inversion, we left with an unanswered question: does the game offer more than a gimmick? Well, after playing some more of the game we’re still not sure, but we do know that the ...

One way to longer life may be higher gravity—at least for rats. That is the “very tentative suggestion” of experiments performed by NASA Physiologist Jiro Oyama, who has been raising mice and rats ...

(Inside Science) — An enzyme in the bacterium E. coli made more errors copying synthetic DNA when exposed to zero gravity than the same enzyme did in normal gravity, a recent study finds. The paper ...

Challenges associated with long-duration spaceflight do not end with landing. Astronauts often suffer from balance problems that lead to dizziness and difficulty standing, walking and turning corners ...

ESA, France’s space agency CNES and the German aerospace centre DLR inaugurated the Airbus A310 ZERO-G refitted for altered gravity by running 12 scientific experiments this week. Repeatedly putting ...

Every week, the readers of our space newsletter, The Airlock, send in their questions for space reporter Neel V. Patel to answer. This week: how to produce artificial Earth-like gravity through ...

The ALPHA experiment at CERN was designed to produce something rare on Earth -- antihydrogen -- and study how its properties compare to those of normal hydrogen. An offshoot experiment, ALPHA-g, has ...
