In microgravity environments, liquids behave differently, crystal structures can form more uniformly and impurities do not settle in the same way they do under Earth’s gravity. These changes may allow scientists and aerospace engineers to manufacture certain materials with properties that are difficult to achieve in conventional factories.

First quantum battery developed and tested by Australian researchers
Australian scientists at the University of Melbourne have made a significant leap forward in energy storage technology by developing and testing the world’s first proof-of-concept quantum battery.
Cosmic is born: A new global player for semiconductor test solutions – built on decades of experience
Following an international expansion strategy initiated in 2022, a new global semiconductor test solutions group named Cosmic has been formed by uniting specialized industrial companies from Italy, the Netherlands, Germany, the United Kingdom, and the United States into two independent divisions: Cosmic Equipment and Cosmic Services.
Applied Materials introduces deposition systems for Angstrom-era logic chips
Applied Materials, Santa Clara, Calif., has introduced two new deposition systems—the Precision Selective Nitride PECVD and the Trillium ALD—designed to provide the atomic-level precision necessary for manufacturing the complex 3D Gate-All-Around transistors required for next-generation 2nm logic chips and AI infrastructure.
