We explored fascinating insights into cerebrospinal fluid movement, navigation mechanisms, and other topics that could impact human space exploration. Our session on neuroscience’s role in human exploration drew huge interest from the science community. We’re excited to see more contributions from passionate researchers in this important field the […]

Dr. Simon Wüest from the Lucerne University of Applied Sciences and Arts and Dr. Soeren Lienkamp from the University of Zurich investigated if specialized proteins in the cell membrane could react to gravity. For this they chose the brand new […]
