npj Microgravity

Scope

npj Microgravity covers research that enables space exploration, including scientific research needed to develop advanced exploration technologies and processes, particularly those profoundly affected by operation in a space environment; and research that is enabled by spaceflight and ground-based spaceflight analogues that provides novel insight into life, engineering and physical sciences to benefit Earth-based research and the general public. To provide a thorough understanding of the scientific impact and future of spaceflight research. Relevant and high-impact papers are considered for publication including (but not limited to): -human health, performance and disease prevention -fundamental and applied animal and plant research -fundamental and applied cellular, molecular, and tissue biology -fundamental and applied microbiology research -fundamental physics -fluid physics -biophysics -earth observations and remote sensing -technology and instrumentation advances, including biotechnology -complex fluids -materials science -combustion science -astrobiology -nanotechnology.
