Microcosms
Model test systems holding up to several hundred liters, designed to best mimic the complexity of real aquatic ecosystems. The systems are intended to help close the gap between laboratory experiments and reality.
Microgravity
Microgravity refers to 1-millionth of the acceleration due to gravity on Earth (µg ≙ 10-6 g, 1 g corresponds to the acceleration due to gravity on Earth at 9.81 m/s2). It is also considered synonymous with weightlessness in science. In the Einstein Elevator, the goal is to achieve microgravity (≈1∙10-6 g) for the large experimental […]
