    Bubbles in Space

    The Sciences No Comments

    One of the objectives of the International Space Station is to get a better understanding of how materials behave differently in zero-gravity. If humankind is ever to survive in space, we need to know what to expect from the absence of gravity as well as know what to expect from gravity on Earth.

    That includes bubbles…
