Microgravity Investigation of Cement Solidification

The Microgravity Investigation of Cement Solidification studies how cement behaves when it solidifies in a near-weightless environment, like space. On Earth, gravity affects how cement particles settle and form strong, uniform structures. In microgravity, these processes change, providing insight into creating better, more durable cement without gravity's influence. This research aims to improve construction materials for space habitats and enhance understanding of cement chemistry, which can also benefit Earth-based construction by revealing new ways to optimize cement formulations and curing processes.
