Fungal Spores From NASA Cleanrooms Survive Simulated Mars and Space Travel ConditionsApr 23, 2026 (SPX) Researchers isolated fungal microbes from NASA cleanrooms, the controlled facilities used for the assembly, testing, and launch of spacecraft. These fungi had persisted in the cleanrooms despite standard decontamination ... more 
Astronaut Brain Grip Study Reveals How the Mind Adapts to Shifting Gravity EnvironmentsApr 23, 2026 (SPX) On Earth, people grip objects to ensure they don't fall. In space, this process changes: when astronauts hold an object without moving it and then let go, the object doesn't fall because there is no gravity. But when ast... more |
