Para peneliti telah mengembangkan perangkat plasma yang membunuh mikroba pada kain, menawarkan solusi potensial untuk mencuci pakaian selama misi luar angkasa jangka panjang.
Astronot di Stasiun Luar Angkasa Internasional saat ini mengenakan pakaian yang sama selama berhari-hari sebelum membuangnya untuk dibakar di atmosfer Bumi. Pendekatan ini berhasil untuk misi jangka pendek tetapi tidak efektif untuk perjalanan jauh ke Bulan atau Mars tanpa pasokan rutin dari Bumi.

Dust storms on Mars generate static electricity that triggers chemical reactions, altering the planet's surface and atmosphere, according to new research. Scientists led by Alian Wang at Washington University in St. Louis used lab simulations to demonstrate how these discharges produce chlorine compounds, carbonates and perchlorates. The findings explain isotopic patterns observed by NASA rovers.
Researchers at the University of Gothenburg found that feelings of disgust from dirty recycling stations lead to poorer waste sorting. An experiment showed clear improvements when stations received extra cleaning. The study was published in the Journal of Environmental Psychology.
