    UF researchers to study plant disease aboard the International Space Station

    As NASA and its partners prepare for longer human missions beyond Earth, University of Florida researchers are investigating a challenge that could affect astronauts’ ability to grow fresh food in space: plant disease. The university’s MVP-Plant-02 investigation, launched to the International Space Station on Oct. 13, will examine how plants respond to a fungal plant pathogen in microgravity.

    Researchers develop game-changing neural device powered by the body

    The National Institutes of Health awarded $1.8 million to a University of Florida engineering team developing a wireless, battery-less, injectable and minimally invasive neural stimulator powered by the patient’s body. The small device is designed to treat painful and debilitating nerve disorders more efficiently and effectively than existing, bulky neural stimulators with external power sources. Patients will go home faster after the procedure, meaning lower medical bills.

  • Microbes under a microscope

    Microbes can grow in Mars-like conditions. What that means for the search for life.

    A new experiment reveals that Earth’s microbes can grow in harsh conditions similar to what may exist just below the surface of Mars, suggesting new directions in the search for potential cellular life on the red planet. The microbes grew over months in just a fraction of Earth’s normal atmosphere, in a solution 7 times saltier than seawater and breathing chemicals similar to bleach.
