Part 5/10:
For instance, certain materials can be formed more efficiently and effectively without the gravitational constraints. When immersed in a microgravity environment, phenomena like convection, typically driven by gravity, are altered; thus, additional substances can be produced that may not be viable on Earth. Professor Satania provides examples of materials that could benefit from microgravity, including optical fibers, semiconductor crystals, and organoids for bioprinting in medical applications. These innovations have the potential to revolutionize industries on Earth by delivering products that leverage the unique conditions of space.
