At NASA, we are excited to announce the roll-out of the Physical Science Informatics (PSI) data repository for physical science experiments performed on the International Space Station (ISS). The PSI ...

NASA ISS Science Officer Mike Fincke began working with the Fluid Merging Viscosity (FMVM) experiment. This physical science experiment is studying viscosity -- a property of fluids that causes them ...

A team of scientists from the University of Notre Dame is sending a physical science experiment to the International Space Station (ISS) to better understand bubble dynamics on nanostructured surfaces ...

Technological limitations have made studying friction on the atomic scale difficult, but researchers have now made advances in that quest on two fronts. By speeding up a real atomic force microscope ...

Preparations for the Spanish Soyuz mission on the International Space Station (ISS) in October took another step forward with the docking of an unmanned Progress M1-10 spacecraft with the ...

When companies try to "build a better mousetrap," the process can involve lots of internal studies and tests on the kinds of materials to use and effective designs. It can be a time-consuming but ...

ANYONE drawing up an elementary course of mechanical and physical experiments, and wishing for a manual to accompany it so as to make the preparation of a special volume unnecessary, could hardly do ...

CHATFIELD — The day’s lesson in Nora Gathje’s physical science class was gravity. Students were given sheets to record observations, balls of various size and weights. The students dropped, bounced, ...

The Progress M1-10 on mission number 11P to the ISS was successfully launched into orbit on Sunday, 8 June at 12.34 Central European Time from the Baikonur Cosmodrome in Kazakhstan. The Progress ...
