Seven students from the UW-Madison ZeroG team spent a week in April at the NASA Johnson Space Center in Houston, Texas. The team participated in the annual NASA Reduced Gravity Student Program, which allows students to propose, design and test an experiment of their choice in varying gravity conditions.
The results from the UW-Madison experiment show a particular spray cooling method is not dependent on gravity—a significant finding that means spray cooling could be used in airplane and other high-heat electronics.
