Gravity is so fundamental to all processes on Earth that removing it can offer unique perspectives into nearly all processes. Research topics that can greatly benefit from using microgravity platforms include:
Fluid physics: dynamics, change of phase, films, interfaces, bubbles and droplets
Fundamental physics: gravity research, Bose-Einstein condensates
Combustion: gaseous flames, droplet ignition and combustion, wall fires
Biology: bio-sensors, single cellular organisms, osmosis, organic compounds, seeds, bioprocessing
Material sciences: alloys, foam, granular systems, porous media, rapid undercooling, polymerisation, sol-gel processes
Heat transfer: evaporation, condensation, convection, conduction
Astrophysics: cosmic dust, plasmas, planet formation
Chemistry and biochemistry: proteins, chemical patterns
