The process for the joint 3D Organoids in Space project originated from the University of Zurich (UZH) researchers Oliver Ullrich and Cora Thiel. Together with Airbus, the two pioneers in research on how gravity affects and regulates human cells have developed the process to project maturity. The Airbus Innovations team led by project manager Julian Raatschen has developed the hardware and is providing access to the International Space Station (ISS). It took the project partners only three years from idea to the first production test in space. During this time, they completed various test phases and overcame highly competitive internal selection processes.

This exotic particle had an out-of-body experience; these scientists took a picture of it
Berkeley CA (SPX) Aug 25, 2021
Scientists have taken the clearest picture yet of electronic particles that make up a mysterious magnetic state called a quantum spin liquid (QSL).
The achievement could facilitate the development of superfast quantum computers and energy-efficient superconductors.
The scientists are the first to capture an image of how electrons in a QSL decompose into spin-like particles called spi
