Did you know that researchers can learn a lot from weightless bubbles? This week, we're floating with Emmanuelle Lacaze's team from the INSP, which is trying to understand the properties of liquid crystal bubbles in microgravity. The same crystals that can be found in your phones. In flight, these bubbles are subjected to an electric current, a first in this field. Caterina, a doctoral student from the team, explains this experiment carried out during the 63rd CNES scientific parabolic flight campaign. @cnes
