Microgravity induces overconfidence in perceptual decision-making
Davide Scaramuzza, Christian Pfeiffer, Leyla Loued-Khenissi
Does gravity affect decision-making? This question comes into sharp focus as plans for interplanetary human space missions solidify. In the framework of Bayesian brain theories, gravity encapsulates a strong prior, anchoring agents to a reference frame via ...
NATURE PORTFOLIO2023Biomechanics at the workplace under hypogravity conditions
The main goal of my research is to establish guidelines for workplace design based on human biomechanics: specifically sitting workplaces and handling areas in 1/6G-1/3G (Moon, Mars) conditions. Such a workplace could be used in long-term space missions in ...
EPFL2022Surface tension and viscosity of liquid Pd43Cu27Ni10P20 measured in a levitation device under microgravity
Roland Logé, Antonia Neels, Alex Dommann
Here we present measurements of surface tension and viscosity of the bulk glass-forming alloy Pd43Cu27Ni10P20 performed during containerless processing under reduced gravity. We applied the oscillating drop method in an electromagnetic levitation facility ...
Springer2019Gravity-Independent Oscillate Boiling
Heat transfer in nucleate boiling relies on the detachment and rise of the boiling bubble, in which gravity plays the dominant role. Previous studies showed that in the absence of gravity, the bubble fails to rise, causing the dryout of the heater and sign ...
