Rubidium gas interference stable; enhances precision in measurements

Researchers using an interferometer aboard the International Space Station found that rubidium gas matter-wave interference is stable over months. This atom interferometry could enhance precision in measuring gravitational and planetary forces. Additionally, studies on bacteria in space revealed that certain genes thrive in microgravity, while experiments with burning n-dodecane droplets showed unique flame behaviors, aiding future fuel efficiency and safety in space missions.
