Assessing plant responses to gravity may be the key to unlocking Martian agriculture

For humans to become a multi-planetary species, we must first overcome many technological and biological hurdles. The closest two potential sites for extraterrestrial colonization (apart from low Earth orbit) are the Moon and Mars. The Moon exhibits

Floating electrodes to manipulate small-gravity particle samples in modern microfluidic systems

Many biological samples such as bacteria and biomacromolecule are of negligibly small gravity due to their submicron size. To flexibly manipulate small-gravity particle samples dispersed in liquids is a challenge that has vexed researchers for years. But
