More space news and info at: http://www.coconutsciencelab.com - astronauts are now testing a drinking cup that will work in weightlessness. Known as the Capillary Beverage Experiment, the research applies recent findings about capillary flows and surface tension and their impact on fluids in microgravity. Researchers are designing containers that mimic the role of gravity and should provide station crew members with the ability to actually drink water or coffee or other beverages rather than sucking them out of beverage bags with straws, as they do now. Please rate and comment, thanks!
