Weightless Materials Science
Curtis, Jeremy
School Science Review, v93 n344 p75-81 Mar 2012
Gravity affects everything we do. Only in very recent years have we been able to carry out experiments in orbit around the Earth and see for the first time how things behave in its absence. This has allowed us to understand fundamental processes better and to design new materials using this knowledge. (Contains 6 figures.)
