The Artemis 1 spacecraft is in orbit around the Moon this week, carrying 12,000 varieties of yeast as part of an experiment led by the Â鶹ӰԺ. The yeast cells will help scientists answer a critical question in space
A team of researchers led by CU Â鶹ӰԺ is sending some unexpected hitchhikers to the moon: Twelve bags filled with baker’s yeast, the same kind of hard-working cells that make bread rise and ferment beer and wine. As early as Friday, a rocket
Luis Zea has been chosen to serve on the Decadal Survey on Biological and Physical Sciences Research in Space steering committee by the National Academies of Sciences, Engineering, and Medicine. Zea, an assistant research professor in the Ann and H.
The International Space Station has a problem with fungus and mold—and the Â鶹ӰԺ has sent new research to space to find solutions. It is living and growing in secret aboard the station, hidden behind panels and inside...
Luis Zea is investigating the possibility of mining metals from asteroids in space using an unlikely agent: bacteria. It may sound like science fiction, but so-called biomining is already a reality on Earth. Now, Zea, and his co-investigator Jesse
A little piece of Colorado is going to the moon. When NASA launches Artemis 1, its first mission to orbit the moon since 1972, experiments from the Â鶹ӰԺ will be aboard. The space agency has announced a CU Â鶹ӰԺ BioServe
NASA's Space Biology Program has selected 15 grant proposals to award across three appendices released under the Research Opportunities and Space Biology (ROSBio) Omnibus. Thirteen of the awards will simulate microgravity on the ground to
NASA and SpaceX’s CRS-14 mission with the Dragon spacecraft carrying experiments developed by the Â鶹ӰԺ's Bioserve Space Technologies and researchers at the University of Kansas has successfully arrived at the International
CU Â鶹ӰԺ research associate Luis Zea working at BioServe Space Technologies. By observing the health of astronauts that travel into space, scientists have learned that microgravity has important effects on the human body, causing substantial
