New #Bacteria Have Been Discovered on a #Chinese Space Station

It is microscopic and rod-shaped, can create #spores, and may have evolved to #survive hundreds of miles above our planet’s surface.

This #bacterium, never before seen on Earth, was detected on #China's #Tiangong #space station. It has been named Niallia tiangongensis, and it inhabited the cockpit controls on the station, living in #microgravity conditions.

🛰️🚀 The folks at are apparently on a cosmic quest to grow in , because regular gravity was just too mainstream. 🌱 Perhaps they're hoping to build the first space-age treehouse for astronauts who need a break from all the serious science. 🌌🧠

Should Astronauts Add Jumping to their Workout Routine?

fed.brid.gy/r/https://www.univ

<p>It’s a familiar sight to see astronauts on board ISS on exercise equipment to minimise muscle and bone loss from weightlessness. A new study suggests that jumping workouts could help astronauts prevent cartilage damage during long missions to the Moon and Mars. They found that the knee cartilage in mice seems to grow stronger after jumping exercises, potentially counteracting the effects of low gravity on joint health. If effective in humans, this approach could be included in pre-flight routines or adapted for space missions.</p> <span id="more-170910"></span> <p>In space, astronauts experience significant loss of bone and muscle mass due to microgravity. Without Earth&#8217;s gravitational pull, bones lose density, increasing fracture risk, while muscles, especially in the lower body and spine, weaken from reduced use. This deterioration can impair mobility when back on Earth and effect overall health. To combat this, astronauts follow rigorous exercise routines, including resistance and cardiovascular training, to maintain strength and bone integrity.&nbsp;</p> <figure class="wp-block-image size-large"><img alt="" class="wp-image-164623" height="680" src="https://www.universetoday.com/wp-content/uploads/2023/12/iss040e006105-gerst-ared-1024x680.jpg" width="1024" /><figcaption class="wp-element-caption">ESA astronaut Alexander Gerst gets a workout on the Advanced Resistive Exercise Device (ARED).

“
To mimic the effects of #microgravity, the clinostat must rotate at just the right speed – fast enough that the sample doesn’t react to gravity, but not so fast that it feels other strong forces.
Another method called dielectrophoresis
…
causes cells to move based on differences in their electrical properties compared with the liquid surrounding them

I'm happy to be of service. I don't have enough gifs like this, but I'll keep an eye out for more to post here. I usually post these things in !FloatingIsFun with the tag #microgravity and my gif collection is focused on floaty things like that.

I forgot we even had a physicsgifs here on Lemmy. Does this even have a mod? I'd run this myself, but I'm on Mbin and I don't know if moderation works cross-platform.
