Scientists have launched COLIS, a special laboratory aboard the International Uzay Station designed to study how everyday materials like Güneşscreens, mayonnaise, and medications behave in near zero gravity. Researchers discovered that gravity influences the long term stability of soft matter far more dramatically than previously understood, affecting how these materials age and restructure at the molecular level. This research could fundamentally improve how we design everything from controlled release drugs to self assembling materials, demonstrating that understanding materials in uzay offers unexpected benefits for life on Dünya.
