Description
Summary:Applications of magnetic fields in separation science, biotechnology and gravitational biology as studied in the low-gravity environment of space flight are reviewed. Ferromagnetism, ferrimagnetism, paramagnetism and diamagnetism have been applied in studies of collagen gel formation, bacterial growth and mixing in the free-fall condition of orbital space flight.
