Astronauts often report that their food in space is becoming tasteless. Our research uses VR technology to simulate space conditions and study how this affects the perception of smell and taste.
Engineers and scientists are developing advanced technologies for Mars colonization, including 3D printing of residential structures and creating an atmosphere suitable for life. These efforts could transform Mars into a habitable planet and bring new technologies that will enhance life on Earth
A team of astronomers using the Hubble Telescope has created a three-dimensional model of star motion in the Draco galaxy, bringing us closer to understanding dark matter. Years of observations bring new insights into the evolution of galaxies and the distribution of dark matter.
New research reveals how galaxies control their own growth and prevent premature death thanks to supermassive black holes that act like hearts, emitting jets of gas and radiation, thereby regulating gas accretion and star growth.
Lunar vortices are bright, meandering shapes on the surface of the Moon that remain a mystery to scientists. Recent research reveals that these phenomena are the result of magnetic anomalies caused by underground lava and the influence of solar wind.
On 21 July 1961 Gus Grissom has survived one of the most dramatic splashdowns in the history of space exploration. Since then, splashdown has remained the most common way for spacecraft to return to Earth, with the recent successes of SpaceX and its Dragon capsules.
