A new device that uses magnetic levitation to emulate the reduced gravities found on celestial bodies such as the Moon and Mars is 1000 times larger by volume than previous systems of its kind, paving the way for more complex Earth-based tests of low-gravity environments – including growing small plants in simulated microgravity. The new simulator, which was developed at the National High Magnetic Field Laboratory (NHMFL) at Florida State University in the US, will also enable researchers to per
