A 2022 study sent a Chernobyl-linked black fungus to the ISS. It grew about 21% faster, and a thin layer saw slightly less radiation. | World News Most of us think of black mold as something to scrub off a bathroom wall Researchers…
Space travel in a reduced gravity environment can have lasting effects on the body. For example, researches clearly show that astronauts undergo a significant drop in bone mineral density during space missions, but the precise molecular mechanisms responsible for such…
A critical review finds that fruit fly gravity research identifies candidate sensitive life stages but that many spaceflight responses cannot yet be confidently attributed to reduced gravity itself. News Source: Denise Maddox. (October 27, 2026). Fruit Fly Studies in Space Reveal Which…
A seven-day gamma irradiation study found that two food-grade microbes kept growth and riboflavin production stable at Mars-mission dose rates, while a lactic acid bacterium showed measurable stress but retained vitamin output. The broader significance lies in what the work…
