A serious issue with human space exploration is the inevitable decay of muscle tissue and bone density due to the lack of gravity. We propose the design and testing of a prototype zero-gravity ferrofluid suit that mimics Earth’s gravitational pull on the whole body.

The rise of exoplanet science and discovery of new temperate worlds open up a new avenue in the search for the origin of life. Here, we propose to take these experiments to the next step, and prepare for prebiotic chemistry studies in extreme regimes and zero gravity.
