microgravity experiments
Microgravity experiments involve studying how materials and biological systems behave when gravity's influence is greatly reduced, similar to conditions in space. By conducting these experiments in orbit or specialized laboratories, scientists can observe phenomena that are obscured by Earth's gravity, such as fluid dynamics, plant growth, or new materials' properties. This understanding helps improve technologies, medical treatments, and scientific knowledge. Essentially, microgravity provides a unique environment to explore fundamental processes without the dominant force of gravity, leading to insights that are not possible on Earth.
