Forskare har utvecklat en plasmaenhet som dödar mikrober på tyg, vilket erbjuder en potentiell lösning för tvätt under långa rymduppdrag.
Astronauter på den internationella rymdstationen bär för närvarande samma kläder i flera dagar innan de kastar dem så att de brinner upp i jordens atmosfär. Detta tillvägagångssätt fungerar för korta uppdrag men är inte hållbart för längre resor till månen eller Mars utan regelbundna leveranser från jorden.

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.

NASA's Psyche spacecraft flew past Mars on May 15, using the planet's gravity to gain speed and adjust its course. The maneuver brought it closer to Mars than either of the planet's moons.
