Visions of beating gravity
... other hand, will be against the wall of the rotating cylinder, where the artificial gravity created by the centrifugal force prevents insomnia and weakening of muscles and bones. Presenting at Asgardia’s first Space Science and Investment...

Space research in embryology
...have shown that, in 80 percent of embryos, the neurotubule failed to link up in the head or cephalic region. However, when a centrifuge creating 1 g was used, such defects occurred only in 4.5 percent of embryos. Apart from the obvious gravity factor...

Rotation in the Universe
... the scale of the universe is a mechanism that has occasionally been proposed by proponents of Steady State theories to provide a ‘centrifugal’ component to the motions of the galaxies that would prevent a gravitational collapse and keep the galaxies...

Spaceport America’s road to the future
... launch area (VLA), and an advanced technology area (ATA). In the latter we have SpinLaunch, a company that’s working on a centrifuge, kinetic energy option for the first stage. In the VLA we have UP Aerospace, and small drone developments...

Pioneering human reproduction in space
...tests, conducted with partners at NASA GeneLab and Ghent IVF laboratory, exposed oocytes to hyper gravity conditions in a centrifuge – demonstrating that, even at 9G, there were no negative effects. Further tests are planned to confirm these findings...

Space Elevator Could be Made out of Diamonds
... system that would use a cable anchored on Earth and reach out beyond geostationary orbit. Gravitational and centrifugal forces would then ensure that the cable held up and remained stationary. Such an elevator could then...
