Article Synopsis
  • High ionic conductivity solid-state electrolytes, like LiYBr and LiLaBr, are crucial for efficient solid-state lithium-ion batteries.
  • Using simulations, researchers discovered optimal crystal structures and uniform lithium ion distributions in these materials, with notable electrochemical stability windows (2.64 V for LiYBr and 2.57 V for LiLaBr).
  • The study indicated that LiYBr and LiLaBr possess significant room temperature conductivity (3.9 mS/cm and higher), with low activation energies (0.26 eV and 0.24 eV respectively), suggesting their potential in enhancing solid-state battery performance.

In vitro studies of cells and tissues in microgravity, either simulated by cultivation conditions on earth or actual, during spaceflight, are expected to help identify mechanisms underlying gravity sensing and transduction in biological organisms. In this paper, we review rotating bioreactor studies of engineered skeletal and cardiovascular tissues carried out in unit gravity, a four month long cartilage tissue engineering study carried out aboard the Mir Space Station, and the ongoing laboratory development and testing of a system for cell and tissue cultivation aboard the International Space Station.
