Scientists are teaching shrimp to eat in zero gravity, and it could change how astronauts grow food in space
- Feeding astronauts on long-duration missions remains one of the toughest problems in space exploration, since food cannot simply be grown the same way it is on Earth.
- A team of researchers at Japan's Okayama University of Science has been investigating whether seafood, one of the oldest and most widely eaten foods on the planet, could realistically become part of that solution.
- Their new study, recently published in the journal Microgravity Science and Technology, examined how shrimp behave and feed when exposed to simulated microgravity, offering an early but promising signal that crustaceans
